Subspecies
The taxonomy of the genus Reticulitermes is currently unsettled (e.g. Forschler and Jenkins 1999). The status of a number of species has been questioned, but there is currently no comprehensive revision of this issue. Specifically, the taxon Reticulitermes santonensis (described from France) is considered by several authors as a subspecies or even as a synonym of the present species (e.g. Austin et al. 2005). Given that the taxonomy of this entire termite group requires larger efforts of revision, I currently refrain here from accepting subspecies or synonymizations.
