Luthela is a genus of spiders in the family Heptathelidae, found in China.

The species Heptathela sinensis had been described in 1932 based on a female specimen, and transferred to the new genus Sinothela in 2003 based on a male specimen that cannot be confidently matched to the female, so the authors of Luthela regard both Sinothela sinensis and Sinothela to be nomina dubia (dubious names).

Accordingly, two species that had been placed in Sinothela were transferred to Luthela.
