Castianeira is a genus of ant-like corinnid sac spiders first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1879.[5] They are found in Eurasia, Africa, and the Americas, but are absent from Australia. Twenty-six species are native to North America,[6] and at least twice as many are native to Mexico and Central America.[1]
