Yi and Sakai [7] showed that the termination problem is decidable for a class of semiconstructor term rewriting systems, which is a supurclass of the class of right ground term rewriting systems. The decidability was shown by the fact that every non-terminating TRS in the class has a loop. In this paper we modify the proof of [7] to show that innermost termination is decidable for the class of semi-constructor TRSs.
