Pholcus tahai Huber, 2011: 158 ; figs 600–602, 616–617, 673–695 (Ƌ ♀).

Diagnosis

Easily distinguished from congeners by highly distinctive procursus (very long, with hinge between proximal and distal parts; fig. 674 in Huber 2011); females with distinctive internal genitalia (figs 617, 678 in Huber 2011) but difficult to distinguish externally from other representatives of the Pa. nigrifrons group.
