Cyrtophorinae is a subfamily of spiders in the orb-weaver spider family. Unlike other orb-weavers, spiders belonging to Cyrtophorinae build horizontal, finely meshed platforms within a tangle of irregular webs. The usually dome-shaped platform is a non-sticky orb web.

Cyrtophorinae includes the following six genera:

  • Cyrtobill Framenau & Scharff, 2009
  • Cyrtophora Simon, 1864 (Tent-web spiders)
  • Kapogea Levi, 1997
  • Mecynogea Simon, 1903
  • Megaraneus Lawrence, 1968
  • Manogea Levi, 1997
