Inthaeron is a monotypic genus of Asian araneomorph spiders in the family Cithaeronidae, containing the single species, Inthaeron rossi. It was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 1991, and has only been found in India. Females can be distinguished from those of its sister genus, Cithaeron, by the arrangement of cylindrical gland spigots on the posterior median spinnerets, appearing in two rows rather than in clusters. The name is derived from "India", the country it was first found in, and "Cithaeron", the name of the other genus of Cithaeronidae.
