Reticulitermes speratus, the Japanese termite, is a species of subterranean termite found in Japan, North Korea, and South Korea. It eats decayed wood.[1][2] It is adapted to withstand the cold temperatures of the temperate regions it inhabits.[3]
The mitochondrial genome of the subspecies Reticulitermes speratus kyushuensis has been determined.[4]
