- Cyrtarachninae is a subfamily of spiders in the family Araneidae (orb-weaver spiders, araneids). The group has been circumscribed in several different ways. It originated as the group Cyrtarachneae, described by Eugène Simon in 1892. The group was later treated at different ranks: as a tribe, both under Simon's name and as Cyrtarachnini, and as the subfamily Cyrtarachninae. Circumscriptions have varied. The broadest circumscription, Cyrtarachninae sensu lato (s.l.), includes three of Simon's original groups, including the bolas spiders (also placed in the tribe Mastophoreae or Mastophorini, or in the subfamily Mastophorinae). Unlike most araneids, members of the subfamily do not construct orb webs, some not using webs at all to capture prey, some using one or more sticky drops on a single line (a bolas), while others construct webs with few widely spaced non-spiral threads, some triangular. Many have been shown to attract prey by producing analogues of insect sex pheromones, particularly to attract male moths. Adult females may mimic snails, bird droppings and other objects, and so are able to remain exposed during the day time, capturing prey at night. (en)
- Les Cyrtarachninae sont une sous-famille d'Araneidae réunissant aujourd'hui deux tribus : les Cyrtarachnini et les Mastophorini, cette dernière incluant les fameuses «Araignées à bolas» (araignées chassant leurs proies en faisant tournoyer un fil de soie lesté par des «perles» visqueuses). (fr)
- Cyrtarachninae Simon, 1890 è una sottofamiglia di ragni appartenente alla famiglia Araneidae. Il nome deriva dal greco κὺρτος, kyrtos, cioè arcuato, piegato, rigonfio, curvo, e dal greco ἁρὰχνη, aràchne, cioè ragno, per la forma variamente gibbosa e arcuata dell'opistosoma. (it)
