Nungia
Nungia is a monotypic genus of Asian jumping spiders containing the single species, Nungia epigynalis. It was first described by Marek Michał Żabka in 1985[2] from a single 6 millimetres (0.24 in) long female,[3] although males have later been found.[1] The name is derived from the Nùng people of Vietnam and China. The species name is derived from "epigyne".[2]
