Cithaeronidae is a small family of araneomorph spiders first described by Simon in 1893^[1] Female Cithaeron are about 5 to 7 millimetres (0.20 to 0.28 in) long, males about 4 millimetres (0.16 in).^[2]

They are pale yellowish, fast-moving spiders that actively hunt at night and rest during the day, building silken retreats below rocks.^[3] They prefer very hot, dry stony places.^[2]
