Cybaeopsis is a genus of spiders in the Amaurobiidae family found in North America and, for C. typica, Russia and Japan. [2] Members of this genus closely resemble those of the genus Callobius, especially the females.[2] It was first described in 1907 by Strand, and transferred from Agelenidae to Amaurobiidae by Lehtinen in 1967.[3] As of 2017, it contains ten described species.[1] 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. It is considered a senior synonym of Callioplus,[4] but not of Alauximus, which is a synonym of Tugana.[2]
