Previously, it has been reported that R. speratus consists of 5 subspecies, R. speratus kyushuensis Morimoto, R. speratus speratus Kolbe, R. speratus leptolabralis Morimoto, R. speratus okinawanus Morimoto, R. speratus yaeyamanus Morimoto, while only R. speratus kyushuensis was recorded in Korea in the past. However, it remains elusive if different subspecies of R. speratus other than R. speratus kyushuensis are present in Korea. In this study, we report the first record of R. speratus speratus from Korea, which was verified using soldier morphology and molecular characteristics obtained from a mitochondrial gene. R. speratus speratus Kolbe, 1885 (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) are found in several provinces, mainly southern regions in Korea, whereas R. speratus kyushuensis are distributed throughout the country. Our morphological comparison showed that R. speratus speratus can be distinguishable from R. speratus kyushuensis by the ratio of the posterior postmentum width to length. In the molecular comparison, R. speratus speratus revealed genetic differences of 3.06% (range 2.60\u20134.10%) from R. speratus kyushuensis using cytochrome oxidase subunit II gene sequences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jee\/toad183","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,7]],"date-time":"2023-10-07T19:56:56Z","timestamp":1696708616000},"page":"2027-2034","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["New distribution of<i>Reticulitermes speratus speratus<\/i>(Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) in Korea"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"116","author":[{"given":"Hyo bin","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Medicine, Gyeongsang National University , Jinju , Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Min Seok","family":"Seo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cultural Heritage Risk Management Division, Cultural Heritage Administration , Daejeon , Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7982-0842","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sang-Bin","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Entomology and Nematology Department, Ft.
