家白蟻屬（Coptotermes）或稱乳白蟻屬，是白蟻中的一屬。其中包括了台灣家白蟻（Coptotermes formosanus）、格斯特家白蟻（Coptotermes gestroi）與大家白蟻（Coptotermes curvignathus）等物種。

形態

兵蟻

頭卵形，前端明顯變狹，囟為大型孔口，位於頭前端，呈短管延出，狹於頭部，上顎細而彎曲，除基部的鋸形缺刻外，內緣光滑無齒，觸角13～17節，上唇尖吞形。前胸背板平坦，狹於頭部。

有翅成蟲

頭部寬卵形，後唇基極短而平，觸角18～25節。前胸背板扁平，狹於頭部。前翅鱗大於後翅鱗且覆蓋後翅鱗之上，翅脈有極淺淡的網狀紋，翅面具毛，前翅中脈由肩縫處獨立伸出，後翅中脈由脛分脈基部分出，中脈距肘脈極近。囟為於頭中部。

分佈

Roonwal(1969)記錄該屬分佈在東洋區有23種。至70年代，全世界範圍共48種。

重要入侵種

本屬中的台灣家白蟻（Coptotermes formosanus）及格斯特家白蟻（Coptptermes gestroi）為重要的世界入侵種，廣泛的入侵世界各地，入侵性極強，因此，許多文獻或相關報導指出家白蟻屬的物種入侵性極強，這點是錯誤的，事實上，家白蟻屬下的物種眾多（65種）^[1]，其中具有極強入侵性的台灣家白蟻及格斯特家白蟻只是其中兩種，該屬其他成員的入侵性極低^[1]。

語源學

Copto- 是cut的意思，Wasmann 在1896年命名時指出，由於這類白蟻兵蟻的前額（側面觀）有截斷的切面，而這個位置有明顯的額腺開口，所以用 Copto- 這個特徵來命名；而Termes 則是termite的意思^[2]。
