Cyrtophorinae

Cyrtophorinae is a subfamily of spiders in the orb-weaver spider family. Unlike other orb-weavers, spiders belonging to Cyrtophorinae build horizontal, finely meshed platforms within a tangle of irregular webs. The usually dome-shaped platform is a non-sticky orb web.

Cyrtophorinae includes the following six genera:


 * Cyrtobill Framenau & Scharff, 2009

 * Kapogea Levi, 1997
 * Mecynogea Simon, 1903
 * Megaraneus Lawrence, 1968
 * Manogea Levi, 1997
