Khorata is a genus of Asian cellar spiders that was first described by B. A. Huber in 2005. [2]
As of July 2024 [update] it contains fifty-two species, found only in Asia: [1]
The spider family Liphistiidae was first recognized by Tamerlan Thorell in 1869. When narrowly circumscribed, it comprises a single genus Liphistius, native to Southeast Asia; as of April 2024, this was the circumscription accepted by the World Spider Catalog. The family contains the most basal living spiders, belonging to the suborder Mesothelae. The family has also been circumscribed more broadly to include the family Heptathelidae as a subfamily, Heptathelinae, with the narrowly circumscribed Liphistiidae becoming the subfamily Liphistiinae.
Eupoa is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae. Originally known only from one species from Vietnam, several other species have been described since 1997, all from Asia.
Pholcus is a genus of spiders of long-bodied cellar spider and allies in the family Pholcidae, with 375 described species as of January 2023.
Macrothele is a genus of mygalomorph spiders in the family Macrothelidae, and was first described by A. Ausserer in 1871. Most of the species in the genus occur in Asia, from India to Japan, and Java, with five found in Africa, and two in Europe. The name is derived from Ancient Greek μακρός ("makro-"), meaning "big", and θηλή ("thele"), referring to the spinnerets.
Savarna is a genus of Southeast Asian cellar spiders that was first described by B. A. Huber in 2005.
Cyclocosmia is a genus of mygalomorph trapdoor spiders in the family Halonoproctidae, first described by Anton Ausserer in 1871. Originally placed with the Ctenizidae, when the family split in 2018, this genus was placed with the Halonoproctidae as the type genus. The name is derived from the Greek "kyklos" (κυκλος), meaning "circle", and "kosmeo" (κοσμεω), meaning "to adorn".
Sinopoda is a genus of Asian huntsman spiders that was first described by Peter Jäger in 1999.
Pseudopoda is a genus of Asian huntsman spiders that was first described by Peter Jäger in 2000.
Coelotes is a genus of funnel weavers first described by John Blackwall in 1841. A large number of species are found throughout Europe and Asia.
Psechrus is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Psechridae, and was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1878.
Belisana is a genus of cellar spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1898.
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.
Cantikus is a genus of southeastern Asian cellar spiders first described by B. A. Huber, J. Eberle & D. Dimitrov in 2018.
Kintaqa is a genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders erected in 2018 for five species moved from Pholcus after a molecular phylogenetic study. They are medium-sized spiders, distinguished by their unique enlarged shape of fourth segment of pedipalps.
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.
Otacilia is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Phrurolithidae, first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1897.
Draconarius is a genus of Asian funnel weavers first described by S. V. Ovtchinnikov in 1999.
Shuqiang Li is a Chinese arachnologist and a professor at the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Li is best known for his work with spiders and has described hundreds of new species and many genera. He is Editor in Chief of the journal Zoological Systematics.
