Maso is a of sheet-web weaver spiders in the Linyphiidae, first described by Eugène Simon in 1884. These small spiders construct flat, horizontal sheet webs, often with a retreat at one edge and a tangle of threads above the sheet that knock down flying prey. The genus is primarily distributed across northern Europe, with records from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. As with many linyphiids, detailed natural history information for Maso remains limited in the scientific literature.
