Bunaia is a genus of synziphosurine, a paraphyletic group of fossil chelicerate arthropods.^[1]^[2] Bunaia was tentatively placed as part of the clade Planaterga.^[1]^[3]^[2] The genus contains at least one species: Bunaia woodwardi from the Silurian period in Svalbard, Norway.^[4]^[3] Only a few morphological information of B. woodwardi had been confirmed, as the species known only from poorly preserved specimens compose of semicircular carapace, fragments of opisthosoma and disarticulated telson.^[4]^[5] The placement of "Bunaia" heintzi (known only by a single carapace from the Silurian period in the United States) within this genus had been questioned and required further investigation.^[5]
