Citharognathus is a genus of Asian tarantulas that was first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1895. [2] As of August 2022 [update] it contains two species: C. hosei and C. tongmianensis. [1]
They can be distinguished by their clypeus, which is less than the with of the eye group. The leg 4 is also distinctly thicker and longer than leg 1. [3]
