This species, on its upper surface, bears a great 
resemblance to Dundubia vibrans, Walk., and to Cos- 
mopsaltria sita, Dist. Many of these Indian species, 
belonging to the genera Dunduhia, Cosmopsaltria, and 
Pomponia, have a common facies in colour and markings, 
which is probably due to mimetic resemblance.
