Coptotermes gestroi

Common Name

Asian Subterranean Termite, Asian subterranean termite

Introduction

Coptotermes gestroi, commonly known as the Asian subterranean termite is a small species of termite that lives underground. Both this species and the Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus) are destructive pests native to Asia, but have spread to other parts of the world including the United States. In Asia, this species is known as the Philippine milk termite. The termite species Coptotermes havilandi was determined by Kirton and Brown in 2003 to be identical to Coptotermes gestroi, so following the principle of priority, the older name is now used.

Morphological Features

Soldier. Head capsule elongately oval, narrowed anteriorly; head width ratio (bHW/mHW) 0.58–0.65 (mean 0.61). Pronotum and head capsule with hairlike setae; number of setae on pronotum and head capsule variable. Body size and setae characteristics are important for species identification.

The quality of RNA was verified using RNAnano chip Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent). The cDNA from soldiers were sequenced using high throughput sequencing platform (GS FLX Titanium/Roche) generating single-end reads.
