Typhochlaena curumim is a species of tarantula, that is native to Mata do Pau-Ferro, Areia, in the state of Paraiba, Brazil. It is a member of the subfamily Aviculariinae.[2]
The specific name is derived from the Brazilian indigenous Tupi language, meaning "child". It refers to the local children that found the type specimens high in a tree in Areia, State of Paraíba, Brazil, during an arachnological expedition.[2]
Typhochlaena curumim is only known from the female. It has a brown cephalothorax and legs, but the abdomen is metallic yellowish-green with a black dorsum with five black stripes extending laterally. It is characterized by the spermatheca, which is wide at the basal region but thins to a single or bifid spiralled region.[2]
