Nipisa is a genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders erected in 2018 after a molecular phylogenetic study of Pholcidae. It consists of ten Calapnita species, previously the phyllicola group of Pholcidae, now elevated to genus rank.[2] They are pale whitish in color, with a cylindrical abdomen and relatively long legs.[3] The name is derived from the Malay "nipis", meaning "thin", in reference to the long, thin abdomen.[2]
