Annandaliella is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Arthur Stanley Hirst in 1909.[2] As of December 2019[update] it contains three species endemic to India: A. ernakulamensis, A. pectinifera, and A. travancorica.[1] They are selenogyrid tarantulas, meaning they have a stridulating organ on the inner side of the chelicerae.[3]
