Bengalla

For the fictional country, see Bangalla.

Bengalla is a monotypic genus of Australian wandering spiders containing the single species, Bengalla bertmaini. It was first described by Michael R. Gray & Judith A. Thompson in 2001,^[2] and has only been found in Australia.^[1] It was originally assigned to the superfamily "Lycosoidea", but not to any actual family.^[2] In 2003, it was tentatively moved to the Ctenidae because of its apparent relationship to Janusia, another Australian monotypic genus of wandering spiders.^[3]
