88, see text Trachelas is a genus of araneomorph spiders which has variously been placed in families Trachelidae or Corinnidae.

Current taxonomy places it in Trachelidae.

[2] Though the name was first used in an identification key published by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1866,[3] it did not include a description for either genders.

In 1872, O. Pickard-Cambridge described the type species, ascribing it to the same name given several years earlier.

[4] Koch revisited the genus and covered it more thoroughly shortly after the type species was described.
