text: # Dundubia
  
  Dundubia is a genus of cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) in the subfamily Cicadinae and the type genus of the tribe Dundubiini.
  
  The name Dundubia is derived from Sanskrit दुंदुभि (dundubhi), meaning 'drum'. 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. The prothorax is not expanded at the sides.
  
  This genus is notable for the extraordinarily large opercula covering the tymbals and extending down much the abdomen in male insects.
