Tecution is a genus of spiders from Saint Helena within the family Cheiracanthiidae. They were first described and named by Benoit in 1977.[1][3] It was originally placed in the Clubionidae, but it was moved to Miturgidae in 1997, then to Cheiracanthiidae (syn. Eutichuridae) by Ramírez in 2014.[4] The genus originally consisted of three species until fieldwork and morphological analysis by British arachnologist Danniella Sherwood and Saint Helenian colleagues demonstrated there is just one variable species, Tecution planum.[5]
