Chumma

Chumma is a genus of spiders commonly known as spiny-backed spiders. All species in the genus are endemic to South Africa.

==Taxonomy== The genus Chumma was originally described by Rudy Jocqué in 2001, who established it as the type genus of the family Chummidae. The genus was later transferred from Chummidae to Amaurobiidae by Wheeler et al. (2017), though this transfer was not accepted by Jocqué & Alderweireldt (2018). More recently, it has been transferred to the Macrobunidae by Gorneau et al. (2023).
