Cicurina venii is a rare species of eyeless spider in the family Dictynidae known by the common name Braken Bat Cave meshweaver. It is endemic to Texas in the United States, where it is known from Bracken Cave in Bexar County. This is one of nine invertebrates endemic to the karst caves of Bexar County that were federally listed as endangered species in the year 2000. No bigger than a dime, only two specimens of this species were ever collected, including at least one female, but that specimen is now lost. The entrance to Braken Bat Cave, the type locality for the species, has been filled in, and the cave cannot currently be accessed. It is located on private property. The status of the species is unknown. In August 2012, one was found in a 6-foot-deep natural hole in Northwest San Antonio
