The theridiid genus Thymoites Keyserling, 1884 is distributed worldwide. Spiders of this genus are mainly known from the Neotropical Region, but are poorly studied in Brazil. In this paper nine new species of Thymoites are described from Brazil, one from the state of Alagoas: Thymoites murici n. sp.; two from São Paulo: T. bocaina n. sp., T. ilhabela n. sp. and T. taiobeiras n. sp. from states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo; one from the state of Santa Catarina: Thymoites tabuleiro n. sp.; and, three from state of Rio Grande do Sul: Thymoites cristal n. sp., T. camaqua n. sp. and T. piratini n. sp., all based on males and females; and one from the state of Rio de Janeiro: T. pinheiral n. sp. based on male. The male of Thymoites puer (Mello-Leitão, 1941) and the female of T. melloleitaoni (Bristowe, 1938) are here described and illustrated for the first time. Additionally, new records from Brazil are provided for Thymoites ilvan Levi, 1964 for state of Santa Catarina; T. iritus Levi, 1964 for state of Goiás; T. piarco (Levi, 1959) for state of Amazonas; and, T. struthio (Simon, 1895) for Bolivia.
球蛛科的Thymoites属（凯泽林，1884年）分布于全球。该属蜘蛛主要见于新热带区，但在巴西却鲜有研究。本文描述了9种来自巴西的Thymoites新物种，1种来自阿拉戈斯州：穆里奇Thymoites新种；2种来自圣保罗州：博凯纳Thymoites新种、伊利亚贝拉Thymoites新种，以及来自米纳斯吉拉斯州和圣保罗州的泰奥贝拉斯Thymoites新种；1种来自圣卡塔琳娜州：塔布勒里欧Thymoites新种；3种来自南里奥格兰德州：克里斯塔尔Thymoites新种、卡马夸Thymoites新种和皮拉蒂尼Thymoites新种，均基于雄性和雌性标本描述；1种来自里约热内卢州：皮涅伊拉尔Thymoites新种，基于雄性标本描述。首次描述并图示了普埃尔Thymoites（梅洛 - 莱唐，1941年）雄蛛和梅洛 - 莱唐尼Thymoites（布里斯托韦尔，1938年）雌蛛。此外，还给出了巴西新的分布记录，包括圣卡塔琳娜州的1964年伊万Thymoites、戈亚斯州的1964年伊里图斯Thymoites、亚马孙州的1959年皮亚尔科Thymoites，以及玻利维亚的1895年鸵鸟Thymoites（西蒙）。
