Trachelas is a genus of araneomorph spiders which has variously been placed in families Trachelidae or Corinnidae. Current taxonomy places it in Trachelidae.[2][3]

Though the name was first used in an identification key published by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1866,[4] 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.[5] Koch revisited the genus and covered it more thoroughly shortly after the type species was described.[6]
