- This page contains pictures and information about Shield Bugs of genera Dippilana
that we found in
the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

 -
- There are quite a number of different genera stink bugs found in Brisbane Eucalyptus
forest. Some of them are shield-shaped and look similar. They include
the genera Poecilometis, Anchines,
Alcaeus, Dippilana
and Theseus.
-
- Genera Dippilana look similar to Poecilometis, but can be
distinguished by the presence of four (appearing as five) antennal segments.
-
- There is only one Australian species in Genera Dippilana.
