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 [update] it contains only two species: K. andulau and K. lambir. [1]
