Abstract(s)

Reticulitermes flavipes, a Holarctic pestiferous subterranean termite species, particularly to structures and non-indigenous trees, is reported for the first time from Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal. The establishment of R. flavipes on Terceira Island likely represents more than one anthropogenic introduction with a high probability of military involvement.
