Dirksia

Dirksia is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Cybaeidae, and was first described by R. V. Chamberlin & Wilton Ivie in 1942 as a subgenus of Ethobuella.[2] Originally placed with the funnel weavers, it was elevated to genus and moved to the dwarf sheet spiders in 1967,[3] then moved to the Cybaeidae in 2017.[4] As of May 2019 it contains only two species: D. cinctipes and D. pyrenaea.[1]
