Dundubia is a genus of cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) in the subfamily Cicadinae [1] and the type genus of the tribe Dundubiini. The name Dundubia is derived from Sanskrit दुंदुभि (dundubhi), meaning 'drum'. [2] A characteristic feature is the pair of long lobes covering the tymbals on the underside of the male abdomen.
Cicadas are feeble jumpers, and nymphs lack the ability to jump altogether. Another defining characteristic is the adaptations of the fore limbs of nymphs for underground life. The relict family Tettigarctidae differs from the Cicadidae in having the prothorax extending as far as the scutellum, and by lacking the tympanal apparatus. [11]
