Teranga

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 in length, with longer legs, the first pair reaching long. The abdomen is long and thin, with a slight upward bend near the end.
