 ish-fuscous : tegmina with a blackish-fuscous median band : abdomen

Genus DuNDUBiA, Am. & Serv. 



Am. et Serv., Hist. Nat. Ins. Him. p. 470 (1843) : Stal, Hem. Afric. iy. p. 5 

 (1866). 



Head triangalar : frons large, very convex, transversely sulcated, 

 with a longitudinal groove in the middle : pronotum not ampliated on the 

 lateral margins : cheeks without a tubercle : rostrum not or barely reach- 

 ing the base of the posterior coxae : opercula long, extending beyond the 

 middle of the venter, very often to the last segment. 



This and the remaining genera of this group have been so imper- 

 fectly worked out, and the synonymy is so defective, that it is impossible 

 for any one in this country to do more than indicate the recorded species. 

 Walker's work here is particularly untrustworthy, and his descriptions 

 quite unintelligible.
