Cheiramiona kentaniensis is a species of spider in the family Cheiracanthiidae. [1] It is a South African Eastern Cape endemic described from Kentani. [2]
The species is known from several localities at elevations from 23-607 m above sea level. [2]
This species is a free-living plant dweller collected by sweeping mixed herbs from the Forest, Indian Ocean Coastal Belt, Savanna and Thicket biomes. [2]
Despite having a relatively restricted distribution, this species can survive in transformed habitats and is therefore listed as Least Concern. It is protected in Cwebe Nature Reserve and Silaka Nature Reserve. [2]
