Abstract
In summer, termites are collected for Identify and assess colony distribution. Collections are direct from a visible gallery or use a trap with ethanol. Soldier for pattern recognition and DNA extraction. Morphological identification according to existing literature. Species differences were assessed by measuring 20 characters/index and statistics. Based on these features, we generated a keyword and distribution map of the genus Termites. Research area. This is the first record of Odontotermesassmuthi and Odontotermesobesus of the three Regions, the first record of Odontotermes parvidens in the Buner and Swabi regions, and the first Records of Odontotermeshorai of Haripur. We then used the barcode of mtDNA COII to Validation of species assignment and phylogenetic analysis of colonies using Neighbor-Joining maximum likelihood analysis.
