Aurungabada singularis
Distant, 1906
male
Specimen data: Type : India (Bombay) (©BMHN)
Comments : it is left to everybody to judge if Distant was well
inspired to describe a new species from such a specimen, which
stays up to now the only one known. However, he did place it in
the Tessaratomidae because of "the exposed spiracles of the basal
segment of abdomen". This fact could be due only to the immaturity
of the specimen, the overall look of the specimen is much more
like an ordinary Pentatomidae, especially for the shape and
relative size of the head. The placement in Tessaratomidae is
therefore quite questionable.
