Abstract
Reticulitermes speratus is commonly found in Asia, including Korea and Japan. We recently analyzed the 5' region of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I to perform a phylogenetic analysis of R. speratus KMT1, isolated in Seoul, Korea. Our results, using COXI, suggest that the taxonomy of R. speratus should be reconsidered with regard to the subgenus group. A similar phylogenetic analysis by COXI and COXII demonstrated the reliability of COXI genetic information in a molecular phylogenetic analysis of termites.
