GROUP II.— HODOTERMES. 



Genus HODOTERMES Hagen. 



Sub-genus Hodoiermes s.str. 



Type Termes viator Latrielie (1805) a worker. 

 Sub-genus Macrohodotermes sg. nov. 



Type Hodotermes mossambicus Hagen. 

 Sub-genus Anacanthotermes Jac. 



Type Hodotermes ochraceas Hagen (from Persia.) 



Hodotermes was created by Hagen (1853) with T. viator 

 Latr. as the type. Later (1858) the genus was subdivided by 

 him into two sections; one containing ochraceus and vagans, the 

 other mossambicus and viator. Neither section was given sub- 

 generic rank. Jaccbson (1904) erected the subgenus 

 Anacanthotermes for H. ochraceus Burm. This sub-genus was 

 suppressed by Desneux and reconstituted by Holmgren.
