| description | The subterranean termite, Coptotermes havilandi Holmgren, is reported from a previously undocumented sitelocated in Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico. This is the first record of that exotic species on the West Coast of NorthAmerica. Termites were found inhabiting and damaging pine logs in a fiscal warehouse at Manzanillo harbor. Theirproximity to the harbor, in addition to the lack of any other infestations in the surroundings, suggests that they wereprobably introduced as a result of maritime trade. New distribution records are also reported in Mexico City(Mexico) and the State of Pará (Brazil). This study shows that that species continues being introduced in manycountries despite the efforts of harbor quarantines. |

El termes subterráneo, Coptotermes havilandi Holmgren, se registra de un sitio previamente no documentadolocalizado en Manzanillo, Colima, México. Es el primer registro de esta especie exótica en la costa oeste deAmérica del Norte. Esta especie fue encontrada dañando tablas nuevas de pino almacenadas en una bodegafiscal del puerto de Manzanillo. Su proximidad al puerto, así como la falta de infestaciones en los alrededores,sugiere que muy probablemente fue introducida por vía marítima. También se incluyen nuevos registros dedistribución en la Ciudad de México, D.F. (México) y para el estado de Pará (Brasil). Este trabajo muestra que laespecie continúa siendo introducida por el hombre a muchos países a pesar de las cuarentenas establecidas.
