Can anyone help me with the latin / greek derivation of the word
Termitoloemus? I have read somewhere that it consist of two elements:
termito - derived from termite, and loemus - supposedly meaning to eat, but
I cannot retrieve the source for the interpretation of latter element. The
species Termitoloemus marshalli attacks termite workers.
