Paraverrucosa is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão in 1939 to contain the type species, Paraverrucosa neglecta. Each of the four species have been moved around between Wagneriana, Edricus, and Verrucosa, but were all moved to this genus in 2020.
Species
As of April 2024 it contains four species:
- P. eupalaestra (Mello-Leitão, 1943) – Brazil, Argentina
- P. heteracantha (Mello-Leitão, 1943) – Brazil, Argentina
- P. neglecta Mello-Leitão, 1939 – Trinidad to Argentina
