“…Up until 1992, only 30 termite species had been recorded from Vietnam (Harris, 1968; Tho, 1992 Appendix 2). But recent detailed surveys of the north and south parts of the country by several authors have greatly increased the number of recorded termite species in the country to 141, (Belyaeva, 2004a, b; Belyaeva and Tiunov, 2010; Nguyen et al, 2007, Vu et al, 2007).

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.
