Type species.

Cyrtogrammomma monticola Pocock, 1895, by monotypy.

Diagnosis.

Cyrtogrammomma can be distinguished by the short distal article of the PLS; anterior eye row strongly procurved with the anterior lateral eyes on the carapace margin; lack of tibial apophysis and cymbium elongated on males and few cupules on labium (3-15 cupules). Cyrtogrammomma resembles Trichopelma by short distal article of the PLS, male palpal bulb with pyriform aspect, and female spermatheca with two bilobed receptacles. The genus differs from Trichopelma by the absence of booklung combs, lack of tibial apophysis, and male cymbium lobes strongly pronounced, retrolateral lobe slightly longer than the prolateral lobe.
