Catumiri is a genus of South American tarantulas that was first described by J. P. L. Guadanucci in 2004.[2] The name is derived from the Tupi "Catumiri", meaning "very small".[2]

The anterior scopula is divided by setae, and the spermathecae of females only have one lobe/terminus. There is a row of spines on the prolateral region of the tarsal claw of males.[2]
