Homostola is a genus of African mygalomorph spiders in the family Bemmeridae. It was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1892.[3] Originally placed with the Ctenizidae,[3] it was transferred to the wafer trapdoor spiders in 1985,[2] and to the Bemmeridae in 2020.[4] It is a senior synonym of Stictogaster and Paromostola.[2]
