Abstract The monotypic genus Bunostigma Mello-Leitão, 1935 is herein revisited. A detailed redescription of its type-species, Bunostigma singulare Mello-Leitão, 1935 from Rio de Janeiro state, eastern Brazil, is herein presented, providing in depth knowledge of this genus. Bunostigma is most closely related to Cryptogeobius Mello-Leitão, 1935, and as this genus, it has a stout complex apophysis on male coxa IV, lacking, however, a second complex on the stigmatic area. Bunostigma has an oblique elongate malleus, similar to that of Zalanodius Mello-Leitão, 1936 (as opposed to a globular malleus in Cryptogeobius). Bunostigma singulare has short legs, with some sexual dimorphism on its stoutness, a dorsal scutum entirely unarmed and an ocularium with an accessory central mound, although unarmed.
