Phrurotimpus is a genus of araneomorph spiders first described by R. V. Chamberlin and Wilton Ivie in 1935. [2] The name is a compound adjective meaning "guarding the stone". [3] Originally added to the Liocranidae, [2] it was moved to the Corinnidae in 2002, [4] then to the Phrurolithidae in 2014. [5] They have red egg sacs that look like flattened discs, often found on the underside of stones. [6]
As of December 2022 [update] it contains twenty-six species in North America and China: [1]
