Cicurina

Cicurina, also called the cave meshweaver,[4] is a genus of dwarf sheet spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1871.[5] Originally placed with the funnel weavers, it was moved to the Dictynidae in 1967,[3] then to the Hahniidae in 2017.[6] The name is from the Latin root "cucur-", meaning "to tame".[4]
