see text Termitaradus is a small tropicopolitan genus of true bugs placed in the family Termitaphididae.

[1] As is typical for the family, living members of Termitaradus are small, being an average of 2 millimetres (0.079 in) to 4 millimetres (0.16 in), and flattened with laminae extending out from each body segment giving a round scale like appearance.

The same is true for the extinct species with the exception of T. protera which reaches 7 millimetres (0.28 in) in length.

[1] Though considered a separate family in Aradoidea it has been suggested by Drs David Grimaldi and Michael Engel in 2008 that Termataphididae may in fact be highly derived members of Aradidae.

[1] The nine living species are found worldwide in the tropical regions of Central and South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia while three extinct species are known from Miocene Dominican amber and the third from Late Oligocene to Early Miocene Mexican amber.
