Synonyms[1]

Cybaeopsis is a genus of tangled nest spiders first described by Embrik Strand in 1907,[3] and transferred from Agelenidae to Amaurobiidae by Pekka T. Lehtinen in 1967.[4] They all occur in North America except for C. typica, found in Russia and Japan.[5]

Members of this genus closely resemble those of the genus Callobius, especially the females.[5] It is considered a senior synonym of Callioplus,[2] but not of Alauximus, which is a synonym of Tugana.[5]

Species[]

The former C. crassa and C. infumata have both been moved to the Cuban genus, Tugana, and several species have synonyms with the name "Amaurobius", such as C. armipotens and C tibialis. As of April 2019 this genus contains ten species:[1]

  • (Bishop & Crosby, 1926) – USA
  • Cybaeopsis euopla (Bishop & Crosby, 1935) – USA, Canada
  • (Bishop & Crosby, 1926) – USA
  • (Bishop & Crosby, 1926) – USA
  • (Chamberlin, 1947) – USA
