In East Africa, Pholcus is represented by 17 species from five species groups identified in Huber (2011). Two species groups are endemic to East Africa and restricted to the southeastern part of East Africa ( Fig. 23 View Figs 20 - 23 ): the lamperti group (8 species) and the taarab group (3 species); each of the other three groups ranges further west or north respectively and is in East Africa restricted to the northwestern part: the chappuisi group (4 species in East Africa), the bamboutos group ( Ph. hoyo Huber, 2011 ), and the circularis group ( Ph. leruthi Lessert, 1935 ).
