Bengalla is a monotypic genus of Australia n 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]
