Pachistopelma is a genus of Brazilian tarantulas that was first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1901.[2] As of May 2020[update] it contains two species, found in Brazil: P. bromelicola and P. rufonigrum.[1] They have a straight front eye row and males have a spinose spur on the first tibia. Females have two spermathecae lacking lobes or constrictions that have a slight curvature in the middle.[3]
