Description
Describing ''Dundubia spiculata'' from Cambodian specimens, Noualhier stated that they are "Completely similar in shape, size and colour to ''D. mannifera'' Lin. mbiguous synonym of ''Dundubia vaginata'' (Fabricius, 1787)">Dundubia_vaginata.html" ;"title="mbiguous synonym of ''Dundubia vaginata">mbiguous synonym of ''Dundubia vaginata'' (Fabricius, 1787) but distinct in shape of its metasternal opercula which are drawn back to a point or instead of being rounded; they are moreover widened after the basal constriction, which distinguishes it from ''D. intemerata'' Walk. [synonym of ''Dundubia rufivena'' Walker, F., 1850] in which these opercula are regularly attenuated by this constriction at the end."[
