Cicurina brevis (Emerton, 1890)

Cicurina brevis is a species of araneomorph spider in the family Cicurinidae. ^[1] It is found in the USA and Canada. ^[2] A study from 2024 found this species alive under seasonal snowpack in a region called the subnivium in higher concentrations than it was found in the summer time, indicating a potential seasonal specialization for the winter. ^[3]
