Abstract
ABSTRACT Southern India is unique by many endemic species of flora and fauna especially in the Western Ghats, a global biodiversity hotspot. Neotermes Holmgren is widely distributed genus of the family Kalotermitidae. A new species of kalotermitid termite, Neotermes viraktamathi sp. nov. is here described from Karnataka part of Western Ghats. The species was collected from a dead branch of a live tree. Additionally, for the first time, 16S rRNA sequence of an Indian Neotermes is provided. A note on variation observed in morphometrics of an endemic species, Neotermes nilamburensis Thakur is also discussed. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:C1B5291B-65E4-4C91-8E27-81F7CC875CB6
