Pribumia is a genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders erected in 2018 for several species transferred from Pholcus after a molecular phylogenetic study of the Calapnita-Panjange clade of Pholcidae. Six species previously in the minang group of Pholcus were transferred, but P. tahai is now in Apokayana.[1][2] They have long, thin abdomens and six eyes, three on each of two eye stalks.[3] The name is derived from the local term for Native Indonesians.[2]
