Baiyuerius is a genus of spiders in the family Agelenidae, subfamily Coelotinae. The genus was described in 2023 and contains 24 species distributed across southern China and northern Vietnam.
==Etymology== The generic name is derived from the pinyin word "Baiyue", referring to the Baiyue region where the genus is distributed. Baiyue was a term dating back to the first millennium BC, used to denote various populations who inhabited southern China and northern Vietnam. The postfix "-rius" refers to the postfix commonly used in the genera of the Sinodraconarius clade.
