Teranga is a genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders erected in 2018 for four species transferred from Pholcus after a molecular phylogenetic study of the Calapnita-Panjange clade of Pholcidae. They are medium-sized cellar spiders, averaging in length, with longer legs, the first pair reaching long. The abdomen is long and thin, with a slight upward bend near the end. The name is derived from the Malay "terang", meaning "bright", referring to their light color.
Species it contains four species: T. cibodas (Huber, 2011) – Indonesia (Java) T. domingo (Huber, 2016) – Philippines T. kerinci (Huber, 2011) (type) – Indonesia (Sumatra) T. matutum (Huber, 2016) – Philippines
