Bungulla
(after Rix et al. 2018): Males of Bungulla can be distinguished from all other Arbanitinae by the absence of a retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA) on the male pedipalp. They can be further characterized by the absence of prolateral clasping spurs on the leg I tibia, by the presence of a field of strong spinules on the dorsal cymbium, and by the absence of a complete fringe of porrect setae around the lateral margins of the male carapace. Seven species have re-evolved a rudimentary RTA-like bulge on the male palpal tibia but can be easily placed in Bungulla by those features otherwise characteristic of the genus.
