Orphnaecus is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1892.[3] They have close to fifty lanceolate stridulatory spines on the chelicerae, known as "strikers". The male embolus has a single strong retrolateral keel.[2] It is considered a senior synonym of Chilocosmia and Selenobrachys.[2]
