Typhochlaena is a genus of small-bodied tarantulas with an arboreal trapdoor lifestyle. All the species except for T. seladonia were first described by Rogério Bertani in 2012.
== Characteristics == Typhochlaena differs from all other aviculariine species by having a domed, short distal segment on the posterior lateral spinneret; the sternum is as long as wide, truncated behind; they are also quite small, with type II urticating hairs.
