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.[2] Each of the four species have been moved around between Wagneriana, Edricus, and Verrucosa, but were all moved to this genus in 2020.[3]

[edit]As of April 2024[update] it contains four species:[1]
- P. eupalaestra (Mello-Leitão, 1943) – Brazil, Argentina
