Teylini is a tribe of mygalomorph spiders consisting of the four genera "Teyl", "Namea", "Teyloides" and "Pseudoteyl".

It is distinguished from the tribe Anamini only by technical differences, like a narrow band of cuspules on the maxillae and the absence of a spine-bearing spur on the first tibia of males (except in "Teyloides").Main, B.Y.
