'''''Chrysso''''' is a [[genus]] of [[Theridiidae|comb-footed spiders]] that was first described by [[Octavius Pickard-Cambridge]] in 1882.<ref name=Pick1882>{{cite journal| last=Pickard-Cambridge| first=O.| year=1882| title=On new genera and species of Araneidea| journal=Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London| pages=423–442| volume=50| issue=3| doi=10.1111/j.1096-3642.1882.tb02749.x| hdl=2027/coo.31924018443543| author-link=Octavius_Pickard-Cambridge}}</ref>

''C. pulcherrima'' is [[pantropical]], ''C. spiniventris'' has been introduced to [[Europe]], and ''C. nordica'' occurs both in [[North America]] and in Asia from [[Hungary]] to [[Mongolia]].

==Description==
Many species are strikingly colored, but like most [[Theridiidae|theridiids]], the coloration is variable. ''C. compressa''has a striking black sternum and abdomen, but the venter of Brazilian species is black, while those of Peru are yellow. ''C. venusta'' has been observed to rapidly change its color when disturbed.

Females are about {{convert|9|mm}} long, and have blade-like hairs on the tip of the [[abdomen]].

==Species==
{{as of|2020|05}} it contains sixty-four species, mostly found in the [[Americas]] and [[Asia]]:<ref name=NMBE>{{cite journal| title=Gen. Chrysso O.
