Genus Nungia Zabka, 1985

Type species.

Nungia epigynalis Żabka, 1985 from Vietnam by original designation.

Comments.

Nungia contains five species distributed mainly in Southeast Asia ( WSC 2022). The original definition of the genus is just based on the butterfly-shaped vulva ( Żabka 1985). Moreover, Maddison et al. (2020) transferred four species into the genus based on molecular evidence and the transferred species are inconsistent in copulatory organs. Based on that, it is hard to define the genus according to its morphological character at present.
