Heimitermes

Very similar to Coxotermes, recorded from rain forest and moist savannahs in West Africa. Like most of the Apicotermes-group the tunnels and galleries are either loose in the soil or associated with Cubitermes mounds. Workings are lined with faecal material with a 'shagreened' pattern as with other genera in the Apicotermes-group.
