Genus Bunduica Jacobi 1909: 345

Type species: Bunduica rubrovenosa Jacobi 1909, by monotypy

Known species: Only the type species, from southwestern Western Australia, is known.

Comments: Few specimens of the species exist in collections. Lambkin (1978) redescribed the genus and confirmed Fennah’s (1950) placement in the tribe Achilini. The type species is relatively squat and small for the tribe (~6-8mm). The convex frons lacking median longitudinal carina provides the most distinguishing characters of the genus. In addition, the vertex is slightly convex and almost as wide as long. The pronotum maintains its thick width and is not constricted behind the eyes as in other genera (e.g., Aneipo). The type species has some red venation in the dark brown tegmina.
