Dulichius inflatus is an ant mimic bug in the family Alydidae that is found mainly in southern India and Sri Lanka.

It was described by William Forsell Kirby under the genus Formicoris in the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society in 1891.

[1] R. C. Wroughton noted that they were frequently found under stones along with colonies of "Polyrhachis spiniger" (a synonym of P. lacteipennis) and that the spine structure varied widely across individuals.

[2] A second description under the name of Dulichius wroughtoni was published by Ernst Evald Bergroth but he subsequently discovered that it had already been described by Kirby under a different genus.

Bergroth then pointed out that Kirby had incorrectly placed it in the wrong family and noted that it was clearly a member of the already described genus Dulichius in what was then the subfamily Alydinae within the Coreidae.
