Reichlingia is a monotypic genus of Central American tarantulas containing the single species, Reichlingia annae. The genus was first described in 2001,[2] and has only been found in Belize.[1]

Originally placed with the brushed trapdoor spiders, it was moved to the tarantula family in 2014,[3] and is a member of the Ischnocolinae subfamily.[4] The sole species was originally described by Steven B. Reichling as Acanthopelma annae, but was changed to Reichlingia annae when it was transferred to this genus in 2001.[2] It is named after Reichling's wife Ann, who helped with the arachnological investigation.[5]
