Wugigarra Huber, 2001

Type species: Wugigarra tjapukai Huber, 2001

Fauna Portal Genus Number: 2190

(after Huber 2001): Small- to medium-sized (total length usually  ca. 2–5 mm), pholcids with globular or higher-than-long opisthosoma, mostly with small anterior median eyes (AME) (AME diameter usually 50–80% of posterior median eyes (PME) diameter, in some species up to 90%; in W. kalamai, 110%), apparently restricted to Australia or the Australian region. Distinguished from Trichocyclus (which is the only similar genus in Australia) by the absence of a weak zone dorsally on the male cymbium; by the presence of a characteristic worm-shaped process on the bulb (missing only in some species that are assigned tentatively to this genus); by the presence of curved legs on the legs; by the presence of only two spigots on the anterior lateral spinnerets (ca. 8–9 in Trichocyclus); by the presence of stridulatory files in females; and by the epigynum that is often provided with a median pocket.
