Hexophthalma is a genus of spiders in the family Sicariidae. Although the genus was originally erected in 1878 (then with the name Hexomma), it was merged into the genus Sicarius in the 1890s, and remained unused until revived in 2017, when it was discovered that the African species then placed in Sicarius were distinct. The English name six-eyed sand spiders is used for members of the genus, particularly Hexophthalma hahni. Species in the genus have necrotic (dermonecrotic) venom, and can potentially cause serious or even life-threatening wounds.

- Hexophthalma és un gènere d'aranyes araneomorfs de la família dels sicàrids (Sicariidae). Fou descrit per primera vegada per Charles Athanase Walckenaer l'any 1847 com a Hexomma hahni. Més endavant va ser fusionat dins el gènere Sicarius per Eugène Simon el 1893. L'any 2017, a partir d'un estudi filogenètic de Magalhaes, Brescovit i Santos, es va veure que les espècies sud-africanes de Sicarius eren massa diferents i es va proposar recuperar el gènere Hexophthalma, diferenciat de Sicarius.

El nom anglès six-eyed sand spiders ("aranyes de la sorra de sis ulls") s'utilitza particularment per a Hexophthalma hahni. El verí dels exemplars de Hexophthalma, com el de Loxosceles és dermonecròtic i, potencialment, pot causar lesions greus i, fins i tot, pot causar la mort. (ca)
