Cheiramiona qachasneki is a species of spider in the family Cheiracanthiidae. [1] It is a South African Eastern Cape endemic described from Qachas Nek. [2]
The species is presently known only from two males sampled from areas in the Maluti Mountains at elevations from 1602-1902 m above sea level. It might also be present in Lesotho. [2]
This species is a free-living plant dweller collected by sweeping montane grassland at 1700 m above sea level in the Grassland Biome. [2]
The species is listed as Data Deficient because more sampling is needed to collect females and determine its full range. [2]
