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]

Body size varies widely among the species. Among the smallest is C. minorata, growing less than 2 millimetres (0.079 in) long. The larger species include C. ludoviciana, some of which have grown to over 13 millimetres (0.51 in) long.[7]
