Abstract:

Reticulitermes chinensis Snyder (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) is a species of termites with broad distribution that damages the wooden structures of buildings and the xylems of living old trees in Beijing, Tianjin, Xi’an and the drainage area of Yangtse River in China. It has been studied by some Chinese researchers for a long time, thereby resulting in abundant biological and ecological information. This article summarizes the biological, ecological characteristics and control measures of R. chinensis. Further study is needed to explore the effective control strategies against this species.

Key words: Reticulitermes chinensis, Biology, Ecology, Control measure

摘要：

黑胸散白蚁在我国长江流域以及北方的北京、天津、西安市危害房屋木结构，是长江流域及以北诸省(北纬40°以南)的主要害虫之一。该文主要对黑胸散白蚁的生物学、生态学特性及其防治方法做一概述，黑胸散白蚁的有效防治方法仍需进一步的研究。
