Uloborus is a spider genus in the family Uloboridae with 79 described species.[1] Most species occur in the tropics and subtropics, with only a few species in northern America and Europe.

The chelicerae of these cribellate spiders are robust, but, like all Uloboridae, there are no venom glands. Eight small eyes are present.
