Jorottui is a genus of amblypygid containing a single species, Jorottui ipuanai. It is endemic to Colombia, being first collected from caves in the Upper Camarones river basin. It is one of two genera within the family Paracharontidae, the other being Paracharon from Guinea-Bissau in West Africa. J. ipuanai is troglobitic, living only in caves and lacking eyes. Like Paracharon, the pedipalps of Jorottui fold vertically upwards, rather than horizontally in front of the body. It was described in 2023.[1]
