Spiracme is a genus of crab spiders erected by Anton Menge in 1876 to contain S. striata, transferred from Xysticus.[2]
The exact relationship of these spiders and their closest relatives has been long debated, and many included species have been transferred to and from similar genera, namely Xysticus and Ozyptila.[1] In 2019, Rainer Breitling conducted a DNA barcoding study and grouped similar genera based on the results:[3]
