Hodotermes
''Hodotermes'' is a genus of African harvester termites in the Hodotermitidae. They range from Palaearctic North Africa, through the East African savannas to the karroid regions of southern Africa. As with harvester termites in general, they have serrated inner edges to their mandibles, and all castes have functional compound eyes.〔 They forage for grass at night and during daylight hours, and their pigmented workers are often observed outside the nest.〔 ==Nests== They nest by excavating in the soil,〔 and the diffuse subterranean system of ''H. mossambicus'' may contain several spherical hives which may be 60 cm in diameter. They are interconnected by galleries and are located from near the surface to more than 6 m deep.〔〔 Loose particles of excavated soil are brought to the surface and dumped at various points around the nest.〔
