Bothriocyrtum is a genus of spiders in the family Ctenizidae native to the southern United States, Mexico, and Taiwan.[1] It was separated from Cyrtocarenum in 1891 for several reasons, including an increased width of separation and a distinctly different arrangement of the eyes.[2] As of 2016 the genus contains three species.[1]
