Pleorotus was a monotypic genus of Seychelloise huntsman spiders containing the single species, Pleorotus braueri. It was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1898,^[3] and was endemic to the Seychelles.^[2] The description was based on a single male collected on Mahe Island in 1894, but none have been found in later collections, and it has been declared extinct.^[1]
