Diagnosis

Superficially this genus resembles Bunduica Jacobi. However, the pronotum is constricted behind the eyes, the central carina of the frons is distinct and the vertex is slightly concave. Furthermore, Parabunda has a distinct pterostigmatic area of reticulate veins, a feature it shares with Dipsiathus Emeljanov from which it can be distinguished by the more rounded anterior margin of the pronotum and the wider, more transverse vertex.
