Distinct mitotic features of fertilized Hospitalitermes luzonensis eggs at prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase, were observed, described and photomicrographed. Mean mitotic index of H. luzonensis was 49%. Prophase was the most frequently encountered (70%) stage while anaphase was the least observed (2%) stage. Karyotype formula of H. luzonensis is 2n=42 (40 A + XX (female)/XY (male)). Mean relative lengths of autosomes ranged from 0.032 to 0.076 while the mean relative lengths of the sex chromosomes were 0.030 (X) and 0.025 (Y).
