Cicurina brevis is a species of araneomorph spider in the family Dictynidae.[1][2][3][4][5] It is found in the USA and Canada.[1] 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.
