Article Synopsis

* Researchers collected termite samples from 42 locations and used DNA barcoding of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene to confirm the species identification and investigate their genetic relationships.
* The analysis revealed 11 samples identified as C. heimi with high genetic similarity, while 31 samples of P. hypostoma showed more genetic diversity, highlighting the effectiveness of COI-based DNA barcoding for species identification and phylogenetic analysis.

Background: There are no well defined species groups based on the worker morphology from the Oriental region Arimoto (2017). forms a complex species group with closely related species having little morphological changes Wilson (1958), Sarnat and Economo (2012). From the Oriental region, there are currently 9 species belonging to the group.
