Chthonos is a genus of South American ray spiders that was created by Jonathan A. Coddington in 1986 because the previous name was preoccupied.[2] Originally placed with the Orb-weaver_spiders under the name Tecmessa,[3] it was transferred to the ray spiders in 1986.[2]

Species

As of June 2020 it contains five species, found in Peru, Brazil, and Ecuador:[1]
