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.
Description
The head is triangular with a prominent large forewing margin and a forehead with a short longitudinal groove in the middle. The fairly prominent eyes, are large and oval.[2] The prothorax is not expanded at the sides.[2]
This genus is notable for the extraordinarily large opercula covering the tymbals and extending down much the abdomen in male insects.[2]
