We need to see the teeth on the mandibles. They are not bilaterally symmetrical!

Thanks Beth, it does help quite a bit. I suspect it is Porotermes adamsoni but cant rule out another group for sure. If you can use the original of the last photo to make an enlargement of the soldier, that might help. And were the soldiers unusually long for termites, i.e. 10mm? And did they have flattened heads?
