Barychelidae, also known as brushed trapdoor spiders, is a spider family with about 300 species in 42 genera.
Idiosoma is a genus of Australian armoured trapdoor spiders that was first described by Anton Ausserer in 1871.

The name is derived from Ancient Greek μακρός ("makro-"), meaning "big", and θηλή ("thele"), referring to the spinnerets.
