Tissahamia

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]
