Famakytta is a genus of spiders in the family Theridiidae.[2]
Famakytta is distributed across tropical and subtropical Asia and the Indo-Pacific region. The genus is also represented in Madagascar.[2]
Etymology
The genus name is a combination of Malagasy famaky "hammer" and "TTA" (theridiid tegular apophysis). F. analamazaotra is named after the paratype locality, Analamazaotra.[1]
