Resumo

Termite nests are an excellent shelter and food source. Specifically, nests ofCornitermes cumulans are large and hard, and attract many animal species. Two quadrats of 2.25 ha -1 were built and all nests ofC. cumulans within them were opened to verify the presence of termitophile fauna. All species found belonged to phylum Arthropoda, classes: Arachnida, Chilopoda, Diplopoda and Insecta, including other termites. Some of them were already registered as present in termite nests, while others were not found in the available literature.
