Candace (bug)


Candace is a genus of African shield bugs in the family Tessaratomidae and tribe Tessaratomini, erected by Carl Stål in 1870.
Candace is notable because species have only been found in Sub-Saharan Africa, whereas most other genera in the Tessaratomini are recorded from the Indomalayan realm.
