Pycnothele is a genus of South American mygalomorph spiders in the family Pycnothelidae. First described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1917,[5] it was moved to the funnel-web trapdoor spiders in 1985,[4] but moved back to Pycnothelidae in 2020.[6] It is a senior synonym of Agersborgia[2] and Androthelopsis.[3]
