Dawidowicz & Wesolowska, 2016[1]

Kakamega holmi is a species of East African jumping spiders. It is the sole species in the genus Kakamega. It was first described by Angelika Dawidowicz & Wanda Wesołowska in 2016,[2] and has only been found in Kenya.[1]

The genus name appears to be invalid, as it is a junior homonym of the bird genus Kakamega, published in 1978.[3]
