The name ''Dundubia'' is derived from Sanskrit दुंदुभि (''dundubhi''), meaning 'drum'.Amyot CJB, Audinet-Serville, JG (1843) Homoptères. Homoptera Latr. n''Histoire naturelle des Insectes. Hémiptères. Deuxième partie'': 455-483. Librairie Encyclopédique de Roret, Paris, 676 pages. 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.
