Selenotholus is a monotypic genus of tarantulas containing the single species, Selenotholus foelschei. It was first described by Henry Roughton Hogg in 1902,[2] and is found in the Northern Territory.[1] It is distinguished from Selenocosmia in by a thoracic fovea recurved, along with the first and fourth pairs of legs being of equal size.

S. foelschei was named after its collecter, Paul Foelsche.
