Yanomamius is a genus of South American tarantulas first erected by Rogério Bertani and M. Q. Almeida in 2021 for two newly discovered species and one previously described species from Brazil.[2] In one of Bertani's prior studies, he investigated a tarantula collected by the Yanomami as a source of food. Based on the limited material available for study- two adult females and one immature spider- the species was placed into Holothele.[3] The next year, it was moved to newly erected genus Guyruita due, in part, to the multi-lobed shape of its spermathecae.[4] When the first male was found and described, the diagnostic characteristics didn't match that of Holothele or Guyruita, so a new genus was erected for Y. waikoshiemi and three other closely related species.[2]
