Amber Listserv / How to identify Mastotermes?

[ADAM SPIEGEL]

Hello all,
   
  Considering the relative rarity of the termite species Mastotermes, can anyone give me an idea of how to identify this species from other termites?  Is it just the size, or something else?
   
  I have a couple of beautiful specimens of winged termites in Chiapan, one specimen has 2 termites each about 1 inch long, the other specimen has the inclusion at about 1/2 inch long.
   
  Thanks!

  Adam
