Chthonopes is a genus of southeast Asian ray spiders that was first described by J. Wunderlich in 2011.[2] As of June 2020 it contains three species, found in caves of Laos, but can likely also be found in India and China:[2] C. cavernicola, C. jaegeri, and C. thakekensis.[1] They have several adaptations for darker environments, including pale coloration, long legs, and reduced lenses.[2]
