Dindymus

Dindymus is Old World genus of true bugs in the family Pyrrhocoridae. Records of occurrence include Africa, but most are in SE Asia and Australia.

Description
These bugs are often coloured red/orange and black; they may be confused with bugs in the family Lygaeidae, but can be distinguished by the lack of ocelli on the head.
