Template:Short description Script error: No such module "For". Template:Automatic taxobox
Chumma is a genus of African spiders in the family Macrobunidae 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.[1] This genus was initially placed in the family Chummidae, but the World Spider Catalog places it in Amaurobiidae.[2]
