Corynethrix is a monotypicgenus of South Pacific crab spiders containing the single species, Corynethrix obscura. It was first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1876 based on a female specimen.^[2] They have been found in New South Wales and Queensland.^[1] A male has not yet been identified, and there is very little known about the biology and behaviour of this species and its relatives.^[3][4]

The original description lacks many of the morphological details helpful for identification, though it is similar to other members of the Bominae subfamily, including Boliscus and Bomis.^[3]Eugène Simon described a second species C. tuberculata in 1886,^[5] but it was later made the type species of Boliscus.^[6]
