The Chummidae are a tiny spider family with only two described species in one genus. Both were first described in 2001. Both species are known from males and females.
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, which play a role in mating.[1]
Distribution
This family is endemic to South Africa.
