97, see text Actinopus is a genus of mygalomorph spiders in the family Actinopodidae.

It was first described by Josef Anton Maximilian Perty in 1833 from the type species Actinopus tarsalis found in Brazil.

[5][6] The name is derived from Greek actin- "ray, beam" and pous "foot".

[5] It is a senior synonym of Aussereria, Closterochilus, Pachyloscelis, and Theragretes.

[7] However, they should be treated with caution due to some reports of bites causing local pain and muscle contractions.
