Tembesu ( Roxb) is one of the local tree species that has fairly economic and ecological value. It is promising to be developed for the area in South Sumatera, Jambi and Lampung. However, developing plantation of this species is hindered by damage due to termites. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out research, since there are no reports on the species of termites that attack tembesu and its pest control management does not exist. The results showed that it was found that termite attacking tembesu plants in the experiment garden of Way Hanakau, North Lampung belongs to species of Isoptera: Termitidae . This termite is catagorized as a quite important pest due to its potentials to cause economic losses and threat the development of tembesu plantation forests.
