Synonyms[1]

Stenoterommata is a genus of South American araneomorph spiders in the family Pycnothelidae. It was first described by E. L. Holmberg in 1881.[3] Originally placed with the Ctenizidae, it was transferred to the funnel-web trapdoor spiders in 1985,[4] then to the Pycnothelidae in 2020.[5] It is a senior synonym of Ctenochelus.[2]

The name is a Latinized form of the Ancient Greek "stenoterommatos", referring to posterior eyes that are narrower than any other species in Argentina.[3]

Species

As of December 2022 it contains 26 species, found in Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil:[1]

Formerly included:

  • S. gounellei Simon, 1886 (Transferred to Acanthogonatus)
  • S. guttulata Simon, 1886 (Transferred to Acanthogonatus)
