Typhochlaena curumim is a species of tarantula, that is native to Mata do Pau-Ferro, Areia, in the state of Paraíba, Brazil.

[2] The specific name is derived from the Brazilian indigenous Tupi language, meaning "child".

It refers to the local children that found the type specimens high in a tree in Areia, State of Paraíba, Brazil, during an arachnological expedition.

It has a brown cephalothorax and legs, but the abdomen is metallic yellowish-green with a black dorsum with five black stripes extending laterally.

It is characterized by the spermatheca, which is wide at the basal region but thins to a single or bifid spiralled region.
