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]
