Based on mitochondrial DNA analysis, an undescribed species of Reticulitermes, morphologically close to R. hageni, was collected in Sapelo Island (Georgia, USA). This species is sympatric with Reticulitermes flavipes and R. virginicus. Aggressiveness has been observed between this new species towards R. flavipes and R. virginicus, which partly explained the predominance of this species in the studied area.
