Phrurotimpus is a genus of araneomorph spiders first described by R. V. Chamberlin and Wilton Ivie in 1935.[2] Originally added to the Liocranidae,[2] it was moved to the Corinnidae in 2002,[3] then to the Phrurolithidae in 2014.[4] They have red egg sacs that look like flattened discs, often found on the underside of stones.[5]
