Homoeomma (eyelike, from Ancient Greek ὅμοιος, like, and ὄμμα, eye) is a genus of South American tarantulas that was first described by Anton Ausserer in 1871.[5] It is considered a senior synonym of Calopelma,[3] Butantania,[2] and of Cyclothoracoides.[4] These tarantulas are usually quite small and usually burrow a few centimeters under a rock or log.[6]
