Meraha is a 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] The name is derived from the Malay "merah", meaning "red", referring to the reddish-orange hue of pedipalps.[2] They are average sized cellar spiders with a cylindrical abdomen, and they build domed webs .5 to 2 metres (1 ft 8 in to 6 ft 7 in) above the ground.[3][2]
