Tissahamia is a genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders named after Wanniyalaeto chief Uru Warige Tissahami. ^[2] It was erected in 2018 for several species transferred from Pholcus after a molecular phylogenetic study of the Calapnita-Panjange clade of Pholcidae. ^[2] They have long, thin abdomens that bend upward near the end. They also have six eyes, three on each of two eye stalks. ^[3]
