Cyatholipidae is a family of spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1894.^[1] Most live in moist montane forest, though several species, including Scharffia rossi, live in dry savannah regions. They occur in Africa, including Madagascar,^[2] New Zealand and Australia, and one species (Pokennips dentipes) in Jamaica.^[3] Most members of this family hang beneath sheet webs. Fossil species occur in the Eocene aged Bitterfield and Baltic Ambers, suggesting a wider geographic distribution in the past.

As of April 2019, the World Spider Catalog accepts the following genera:^[3]

In addition, 5 fossil genera are known.^[4]^[5]
