6, see text Holothele is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Ferdinand Anton Franz Karsch in 1879.

[4] Originally placed with the curtain-web spiders, it was transferred to the tarantulas in 1980.

[5] They can be distinguished by the lack of urticating hairs, tarsus 4 being pseudo segmented.

The tarsal claws own a row of teeth, and a labium with around 90 cuspules.

[6] As of July 2022[update] it contains six species, found in the West Indies and in the north of South America:[1]
