Arnapa is a genus of cellar spiders native to Indonesia, first described by B. A. Huber and L. S. Carvalho in 2019. It is named after West Papuan musician and cultural leader Arnold Ap. [2]
As of April 2022 [update] it contains six species: [1]
The Pholcidae are a family of araneomorph spiders. The family contains more than 1,800 individual species of pholcids, including those commonly known as cellar spider, daddy long-legs spider, carpenter spider, daddy long-legger, vibrating spider, gyrating spider, long daddy, and skull spider. The family, first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1850, is divided into 94 genera.
Gasteracantha is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first named by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833. Species of the genus are known as spiny-backed orb-weavers, spiny orb-weavers, or spiny spiders. The females of most species are brightly colored with six prominent spines on their broad, hardened, shell-like abdomens. The name Gasteracantha is derived from the Greek gaster (γαστήρ), meaning "belly, abdomen", and akantha (άκανθα), meaning "thorn, spine". Spiny-backed orb-weavers are sometimes colloquially called "crab spiders" because of their shape, but they are not closely related to the true crab spiders. Other colloquial names for certain species include thorn spider, star spider, kite spider, or jewel spider.
Pristobaeus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1902.
Selenocosmia is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Anton Ausserer in 1871. The genus is found in China, New Guinea, Indonesia, Australia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam, Philippines, India and Pakistan. They are commonly referred to as whistling or barking spiders, due to their ability to stridulate using lyra hairs.
Cyrtophora, the tent-web spiders, is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895. Although they are in the "orb weaver" family, they do not build orb webs. Their tent-like, highly complex non-sticky web is sometimes considered a precursor of the simplified orb web. These webs are aligned horizontally, with a network of supporting threads above them. These spiders often live in colonies. Females have a body length of mostly about 10 millimetres (0.39 in) long. Some members, including Cyrtophora cicatrosa, exhibit the ability to change colour rapidly.
Magana is a monotypic genus of Arabian cellar spiders containing the single species, Magana velox. It was first described by B. A. Huber and L. S. Carvalho in 2019, and it has only been found in Oman.
Micropholcus is a genus of cellar spiders that was first described by Christa Laetitia Deeleman-Reinhold & J. D. Prinsen in 1987.
Artema is a genus of cellar spiders that was first described by Charles Athanase Walckenaer in 1837.
Mesida is a genus of long-jawed orb-weavers that was first described by Władysław Kulczyński in 1911.
Domatha is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1895. As of September 2020 it contains two species, found in the Philippines and Papua New Guinea: D. celeris and D. vivida.
Tissahamia is a genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders named after Wanniyalaeto chief Uru Warige Tissahami. It was erected in 20180 for several species transferred from Pholcus after a molecular phylogenetic study of the Calapnita-Panjange clade of Pholcidae. They have long, thin abdomens that bend upward near the end. They also have six eyes, three on each of two eye stalks.
Arenita is a monotypic genus of South American cellar spiders containing the single species, Arenita fazendinha. It was first described by B. A. Huber and L. S. Carvalho in 2019, and it has only been found in Brazil.
Giloloa is a monotypic genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders containing the single species, Giloloa sofifi. It was first described by B. A. Huber and L. S. Carvalho in 2019, and it has only been found in Indonesia.
Kairona is a monotypic genus of South American cellar spiders containing the single species, Kairona selva. It was first described by B. A. Huber and L. S. Carvalho in 2019, and it has only been found in Brazil.
Meraha is a genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders. The genus was erected in 2018 for two species transferred from Pholcus after a molecular phylogenetic study of Pholcidae. The name is derived from the Malay "merah", meaning "red", referring to the reddish-orange hue of pedipalps. They are average sized cellar spiders with a cylindrical abdomen, and they build domed webs .5 to 2 metres above the ground.
Nipisa is a genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders erected in 2018 after a molecular phylogenetic study of Pholcidae. It consists of ten Calapnita species, previously the phyllicola group of Pholcidae, now elevated to genus rank. They are pale whitish in color, with a cylindrical abdomen and relatively long legs. The name is derived from the Malay "nipis", meaning "thin", in reference to the long, thin abdomen.
Pemona is a monotypic genus of South American cellar spiders containing the single species, Pemona sapo. It was first described by B. A. Huber and L. S. Carvalho in 2019, and it has only been found in Venezuela.
Saciperere is a monotypic genus of South American cellar spiders containing the single species, Saciperere catuaba. It was first described by B. A. Huber and L. S. Carvalho in 2019, and it has only been found in Brazil.
Pinoquio is a monotypic genus of South American cellar spiders containing the single species, Pinoquio barauna. It was first described with the name Pinocchio by B. A. Huber & L. S. Carvalho in 2019, after Pinocchio, whose famous nose reminded the authors of the projecting clypeus in P. barauna. However, this name turned out to be a junior homonym that had been used before, for the harvestman genus PinocchioMello-Leitão, 1940. Therefore, the genus name was amended in 2022 to Pinoquio, which is the Portuguese spelling of the name of Collodi's famous character. This genus has only been found in Brazil.
Asianopis is a genus of Asian net-casting spiders first described by Y. J. Lin, L. Shao and A. Hänggi in 2020.
