Cyrtopholis is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1892.[2]

This genus can be distinguished by being found in the Caribbean, and by the presence of claviform stridulatory hairs on the trochanter of the pedipalps and the legs I. They also own type 1 and 3 urticating hairs on the abdomen. The spermatheca of females is formed by 2 long receptacles with no fusion at the base.[3]
