    vol.29 NO.l SOUTHWESTERNENTOMOLOGIST MAR.2004 GENETIC VARIATION AND GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE SUBTERRANEAN TERMITE GENUS RETICULITERMESItN Tpx.q,S JamesW. Austin2,Allen L. Szalanski2,Roger E. Gold3,and Bart T. Fost# ABSTRACT A molecular geneticsstudy involving DNA sequencingof a portion of the mitochondrialDNA 165 genewas undertakento determinethe extent of geneticvariation with Reticulitermesspp. and the distribution of Reticulitermesspp. subterraneantermites in Texas.From 42 Texascounties a total of 68 R. flavipes, sevenR. hageni,eight R. virginicus,and nine R. tibialis were identified. No geneticvariation was observedin R. virginicus andR. hageni,while sevenhaplotypes were observedin R. tibialis and 13 for R. flavipes.Among the 13.R.flavipes haplotypes,9nucleotides were variableand genetic variationranged from 0.2 to l.60/o.Phylogenetic analysis did not revealany relationships amongthe R. tibialis arld R. flavipes haplotypes,and there wasino apparentgeographical structureto the haplotypes.The high amount of genetic variation, but a lack of genetic structure in R. flavipes supports the hypothesis that this termite species has been distributedrandomly by mandue to its associationwith structures. INTRODUCTION The most abundant native termite in Texas is the subterranean genus ReticulitermesHolgren (Rhiniotermitidae).Four species, the eastern subtenanean Reliculitermesflavipes (Kollar), light southemR. hageniBanks, arid n. nDialis Banks,and dark southernR. virginicus (Banks),are known to occur in Texas(Howell et al. 1987). These speciesare among the most destructiveand costly termites for homeownersand businessesalike, and are of considerableeconomic importance. Su (1993)estimated that over $ I .5 billion is spentannually for termite control in the U.S., of which 80olois spentto control subterraneantermites, More recent estimatesby the National Pest Management Associationsuggest the cost to exceed$2.5 billion annually(Anonymous 2003).

Box 266, Bloemfontein, 9300, South Africa *Author for correspondence E-mail: [email protected] Biodiversity is one of the most important concepts in contemporary biology, with a broad range of applications. In November 1995, South Africa ratified the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Signatories are obligated to develop a strategic plan for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. To meet the requirements of the CBD, the South African National Survey of Arachnida (SANSA) was initiated in 1997. This national project has several aims: to document and describe the arachnid fauna of South Africa; to consolidate all the available data on South African arachnids into one relational database and to make this biodiversity information available to science; and to address issues concerning their conservation and sustainable use. Extensive sampling took place and the SANSA database contains a wealth of biodiversity data that are used to provide answers to ecological questions. Presently 71 spider families, 471 genera and 2170 species are known from South Africa, representing approximately 4.8% of the world fauna.

VAN DEN BERG Dippenaar-Schoeman, A.S., A.E. van der Walt, M. de Jager, E. le Roux and A. van den Berg. 2005. The spiders of the Swartberg Nature Reserve in South Africa (Arachnida: Araneae). Koedoe 48(1): 77–86. Pretoria. ISSN 0075-6458. The Swartberg Nature Reserve is situated in the Large Swartberg mountain range, in the Oudtshoorn district of the Western Cape Province. Spiders were collected from the reserve over a 10-year period. This is one of the inventory projects of the South African National Survey (SANSA) for spiders of the Succulent Karoo Biome. A total of 45 fam- ilies comprising 136 genera and 186 species were collected, all which are new records for the area. This represents about 9.4 % of the total known South African spider fauna. Of the spiders collected 142 species (76.5 %) were wanderers and 44 (23.5 %) web dwellers. The plant dwellers comprised 43.3 % of the total number of species and the ground dwellers 56.7 %. The Gnaphosidae was the most diverse family represented by 33 species, followed by the Salticidae with 23 and Thomisidae with 15. Ten species are possibly new to science and the Filistatidae is a first record for South Africa. An anno- tated checklist with information on the guilds, habitat preference and web types are pro- vided.
