Pholcus fragillimus, is a species of spider of the genus Pholcus. It is distributed from Sri Lanka, India to Japan. The type material of Pholcus fragillimus has probably been destroyed in Stuttgart during the Second World War, and only one female is available now in museums.

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.
Apokayana is a genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders named after the Apo Kayan people of Indonesia and Malaysia. It was erected in 2018 for ten species transferred from Panjange after a molecular phylogenetic study of Pholcidae.
Cantikus is a genus of southeastern Asian cellar spiders first described by B. A. Huber, J. Eberle & D. Dimitrov in 2018.
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.
Kelabita is a small 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. It is named after the Kelabit, an ethnic group native to Borneo. They build domed webs up to 2 metres above the ground, and can be distinguished by unique sclerotization, including a partially sclerotized embolus. As of April 2022 it contains only two species: K. andulau and K. lambir.
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.
Muruta is a small genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders named after the Murut people. It was erected in 2018 for two species transferred from Pholcus after a molecular phylogenetic study of Pholcidae. They are average size for cellar spiders with relatively long legs, the first legs averaging 35 to 40 millimetres long. Males can be distinguished from other species by hairless, flat sclerites on their chelicerae, and females can be distinguished by three-layered telescopic tubes in their genital structure. As of April 2022 it contains only two species, both native to northern Borneo: M. bario and M. tambunan.
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.
Paiwana is a small genus of east Asian cellar spiders named after the Paiwan people. The genus was erected in 2018 for two species transferred from Pholcus after a molecular phylogenetic study of Pholcidae. Males are distinguished by unique sclerotized modifications to the chelicerae, and females by the unique triangular epigynum shape. As of April 2022 it contains only two species, both native to Taiwan: P. chengpoi and P. pingtung.
Pribumia is a genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders erected in 2018 for several species transferred from Pholcus after a molecular phylogenetic study of the Calapnita-Panjange clade of Pholcidae. Six species previously in the minang group of Pholcus were transferred, but P. tahai is now in Apokayana. They have long, thin abdomens and six eyes, three on each of two eye stalks. The name is derived from the local term for Native Indonesians.
Teranga is a genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders erected in 2018 for four species transferred from Pholcus after a molecular phylogenetic study of the Calapnita-Panjange clade of Pholcidae. They are medium-sized cellar spiders, averaging 3.5 to 4.5 millimetres in length, with longer legs, the first pair reaching 30 to 40 millimetres long. The abdomen is long and thin, with a slight upward bend near the end. The name is derived from the Malay "terang", meaning "bright", referring to their light color.
Tangguoa is a small genus of east Asian cellar spiders. It was first described by Z. Y. Yao, Y. P. Luo and S. Q. Li in 2021, and it has only been found in China. As of March 2022 it contains only two species: T. laibin and T. tongguling.
