Genus of spiders
Paiwana is a small genus of east Asian cellar spiders named after the Paiwan people. The genus was erected in 2018 for two species transferred from "Pholcus" after a molecular phylogenetic study of Pholcidae. Males are distinguished by unique sclerotized modifications to the chelicerae, and females by the unique triangular epigynum shape. As of  2022[ [update]] it contains only two species, both native to Taiwan: "P. chengpoi" and "P. pingtung".
