Latouchia is a genus of Asian mygalomorph spiders in the family Halonoproctidae, first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1901.[3] The genus is presumably named in honour of John David Digues La Touche (who is named as "J. de La Touche" alongside "C. B. Rickett") as co-collector of the first described species Latouchia fossoria.
Originally placed with the family Ctenizidae, the genus was moved to the Halonoproctidae in 2018.[4]
