Abstract
The differentiation of the various castes of primitive termites like Kalotermes and Zootermopsis is dependent on the JH-titer during the molting interval of larvae and nymphs. A hypothesis is suggested according to which only two pheromones control caste differentiation: the pheromone given off by reproductives may be JH, while a JH-inhibitor or corpora allata inhibitor may be produced by the soldiers.
