The blacktailed red sheetweaver, Florinda coccinea, is a species of sheetweaver spider belonging to the family Linyphiidae. This species is common to the United States.

The eyes of members of this family are found in a kind of "shower head" arrangement, and frequently the eyes sit on a kind of turret.
