Abstract

An existing infestation of subterranean termites in and around a home in northern Italy was genetically determined to be the Nearctic species, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae). This is the first report of an established R. flavipes population in Italy. The source of the R. flavipes introduction is unknown.
