Pionothele is a genus of African mygalomorph spiders in the family Pycnothelidae. It was first described by William Frederick Purcell in 1902.[2] (As of June 2020) it contains 2 species, found in Namibia and South Africa : P. gobabeb, and P. straminea.[1] Originally placed with the Ctenizidae,[2] it was transferred to the funnel-web trapdoor spiders in 1985,[3] then to the Pycnothelidae in 2020.[4]
