Gen. Cryphoeca Thorell, 1870 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01936
type Tegenaria silvicola C. L. Koch, 1834; gender feminine
N.B.: transferred from the Agelenidae to the Hahniidae by Lehtinen, 1967: 225 and to the Cybaeidae by Wheeler et al., 2017: 606; considered a possible member of Dictynidae by Wunderlich, 1995z: 719; transfer to the Cicurinidae (Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here.

Cryphoeca peckhami Simon, 1898 -- see Cicurina

Cryphoeca pyrenaea Simon, 1898 -- see Dirksia

Cryphoeca recisa O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1908 -- see Mastigusa

Cryphoeca tibetana Hu & Li, 1987 -- see Huangyuania
