Hermacha is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Entypesidae. It was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1889.[3] Originally placed with the Ctenizidae,[3] it was transferred to the funnel-web trapdoor spiders in 1985,[2] then to the Entypesidae in 2020.[4] It is a senior synonym of Damarchodes and Hermachola.[2]
