Holothele is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Ferdinand Anton Franz Karsch in 1879.[4] Originally placed with the curtain-web spiders, it was transferred to the tarantulas in 1980.[5]

Diagnosis

They can be distinguished by the lack of urticating hairs, tarsus 4 being pseudo segmented. The tarsal claws own a row of teeth, and a labium with around 90 cuspules.[6]

Species

As of July 2022[update] it contains six species, found in the West Indies and in the north of South America:[1]
