Cenotextricella is a genus of fossil spiders with one described species, Cenotextricella simoni, found in Eocene amber (c. 53 million years ago) from the Paris Basin in France.

As of January 2023[update], it is the only fossil record of the subfamily Micropholcommatinae[1] (now considered part of the Anapidae, but formerly recognized as a separate family[2]).

Recent species in the family only occur in the Southern Hemisphere, in Australia and South America.

[3] The spider probably lived in semi-deciduous or deciduous woodland near a river, in a warm climate with wet and dry seasons.

The species is named in honor of famous French arachnologist Eugène Simon (1848–1924).
