The other three species are highly apomorphic and may eventually end up in other or new genera. Natural history. Judging from the sparse information on labels, the species occur in caves, among low vegetation, and on leaves. Distribution. The Ph. halabala group is restricted to Southeast Asia, from Myanmar and southern China to Sumatra and Borneo (Fig. 529). Composition. The Ph. halabala group includes eleven species, ten of which are treated below; iorPh. excep- tus., see Tong & Li (2009). Core group: Ph. halabala n. sp.; Ph. sepaku n. sp.; Ph. sabah n. sp.; assigned tentatively: Ph. chiangdao n. sp.; Ph. khene n. sp.; Ph. kinabalu n. sp.; Ph. elongatus (Yin & Wang, 1981); Ph. exceptusTon^ & Li, 2009; Ph. andulau n. sp.; Ph. pyu n. sp.; Ph. satun n. sp. Pholcus halabala n. sp. Figs. 495, 496, 517, 518, 530-535 Type. Male holotype from Thailand, Naratiwat Prov., Waeng Distr., Hala Bala Wildlife Reserve ('N, 'E), research station, 190-200 m , (ATOL Expedition), in MACN. Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition, derived from the type locality. Diagnosis. Easily distinguished from most congeners by pair of hair brushes (short spine-shaped hairs) between male PME; from very similar Ph. sepaku only by shape of procursus (compare Figs. 535 and 536). Male (holotype). Total body length , carapace width Leg 1: ( + + + + ), tibia 2: , tibia 3: , tibia 4: ; tibia 1 L/d: 83. Habitus as in Figs. 495 and 496. Carapace pa
