Sociala is an extinct genus of stem-termite which lived from the mid-late Jurassic (Callovian to Kimmeridgian)[1] to the early Cretaceous (Albian).[2] This genus was named by Peter Vršanský in 2010, with the type species being Sociala perlucida from the Albian of France.[2] In 2024, an earlier species, Sociala borat, was named from the Karabastau Formation in Kazakhstan, which would make this species the earliest known termite.[1]
