Migas is a genus of spiders in the family Migidae. Most species are found only in New Zealand.[1]
Taxonomy

The genus Migas was erected by Ludwig Koch in 1873, for the species Migas paradoxus.[1][2] Of the 34 species accepted as of October 2017, 26 were described by C. L. Wilton in 1968, all from New Zealand.[1] Many of the species are very similar in external appearance, being distinguished by the internal structure of the female genitalia.[3]
