Tliltocatl epicureanus (synonym Brachypelma epicureanum) is a species of spider in the family Theraphosidae (tarantulas), found in the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico.
It was transferred to the genus Brachypelma by Andrew Smith in 1993, retaining the incorrect ending of the specific name, which he corrected to epicureanum in 1995.
[3] In November 2019, it was proposed that Brachypelma epicureanum be moved to the genus Tliltocatl; this has been accepted by the World Spider Catalog.
[1] Tliltocatl epicureanus is found in central Yucatán, in moist forest and rainforest.
[2] All species of Brachypelma, then including Tliltocatl, were placed on CITES Appendix II in 1994, thus restricting trade.
