Chileotaxus is a monotypic genus of Chilean araneomorph spiders in the family Physoglenidae, containing the single species Chileotaxus sans. It was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 1990,[2] and is found in Chile.[1] Originally placed with the Synotaxidae, it was moved to the Physoglenidae in 1973.[3] The generic name is a contraction of "Chilean Synotaxus", and the specific name is an arbitrary combination of letters.[2]
