Corynethrix is a monotypic genus of South Pacific crab spiders containing the single species, Corynethrix obscura. It was first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1876 based on a female specimen.[2] They have been found in New South Wales and Queensland.[1] A male has not yet been identified, and there is very little known about the biology and behavior of this species and its relatives.[3][4]
The original description lacks many of the morphological details helpful for identification, though it is similar to other members of the Bominae subfamily, including Boliscus and Bomis.[3] Eugène Simon described a second species C. tuberculata in 1886,[5] but it was later made the type species of Boliscus.[6]
