Nungia is a genus of Asian jumping spiders containing 6 species. Amongst them Nungia epigynalis was first described by Marek Michał Żabka in 1985[2] from a single 6 millimetres (0.24 in) long female,[3] although males have subsequently been found.[1] The name is derived from the Nùng people of Vietnam and China. The species name is derived from "epigyne".[2]
Females have a light brown thorax, with a greyish-yellow opisthosoma and longitudinal rows of grey spots. Its legs are yellow, except for the stronger first pair, which are light brown except for the distal segments. They are only found in Asia.[1]
