A New Species of Parrhinotermes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae: Rhinotermitinae) from Vietnam

The Indomalayan-centered termite genus Parrhinotermes has 13 described species. A 14(th) species, Parrhinotermes molariserratus new species Myles & Schiff is described from southern Vietnam. The new species is described from the worker and soldier castes. The morphology of the worker gut is also described and illustrated, the first such description for the genus. We also provide the DNA Barcode, a region of the Cytochrome Oxidase 1 mitochondrial gene, as, to date, only 3 of 13 species in Parrhinotermes have associated barcodes. This is the first record of Parrhinotermes from the SE Asian subregion of the Oriental region.
