Shell scripting

Sir, I am new to shell scripting. I request you to help me for this.
I have the data file in the given format. In the given file, 3 structures are there starting with’Contig’and each structure having substructures starting with’-‘ like -150.90, -150.70, -149.70. One substructure contains range of values and one did not have any value. In -150.70, three ranges are there in that 672:693 and 679:700 are continous. I need a shell program to combine such ranges like 672:700 for this and remove the substructures which do not have range of values. The output needed shown below.

Code:
INPUT                   

Contig1430
-150.90:
-150.70:
672:693
711:732

583:604
591:612
601:622
607:628
614:635
617:638

OUTPUT
