Bothriocyrtum is a genus of spiders in the family Ctenizidae native to the southern United States, Mexico, and Taiwan. It was separated from Cyrtocarenum in 1891 for several reasons, including an increased width of separation and a distinctly different arrangement of the eyes. As of 2016 the genus contains three species.
