Hoplopyga brasiliensis

Hoplopyga brasiliensis can reach a length of about 20–36 millimetres (0.79–1.42 in).^[2]

Larvae of this species are termitophilous, living in the nests of Cornitermes cumulans and Diversitermes diversimiles (Termitidae).^[3] They construct pupal chambers with the decaying wood as well as a significant layer of their own feces where they develop.^[2] The feces contains cuticular hydrocarbons that the specific termite hosts use to identify one another, suggesting that this element of chamber construction plays a role in protecting H. brasiliensis larvae from termite patrols. ^[3]
