Chumma is a genus of African tangled nest spiders first described by Rudy Jocqué in 2001. They are small, three-clawed spiders with a strong dorsal scutum. They have no fovea, and the posterior and median spinnerets are reduced. The males of C. gastroperforata have two pairs of abdominal pockets that play a role in mating.[2] This genus was initially placed in the family Chummidae, but the World Spider Catalog places it in Amaurobiidae.[1]

Species[edit]

As of April 2019 it contains nine species in South Africa and neighboring countries:[1]
