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.
