Cethegus fugax is a species of mygalomorph spider in the Euagridae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1908 by French arachnologist Eugène Simon. [1] [2]
The species occurs in South Australia and Western Australia, in low woodland and open forest habitats, on sandy and gravelly soils. The type locality is Lion Mill (now Mount Helena, a suburb of Perth). [1] [2]
