Kelabita

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.^[1] It is named after the Kelabit, an ethnic group native to Borneo.^[1] They build domed webs up to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) above the ground, and can be distinguished by unique sclerotization, including a partially sclerotized embolus.^[2] As of April 2022 it contains only two species: K. andulau and K. lambir.^[1]
