Paracenobiopelma is a monotypic genus of barychelid trapdoor spiders from Brazil containing the sole species Paracenobiopelma gerecormophilum.[1]
Their closest relatives are found in the genus Sason, which occurs in south Asia.
Name
The genus name is combined from the Ancient Greek root para "near to" and the genus name Cenobiopelma, which is now renamed to Oligoxystre, and transferred to the family Theraphosidae. Cenobiopelma is a combination of the Ancient Greek roots ceno "evacuation", bio "life", and pelma "sole of the foot".
The species name is derived from the roots ger "to carry", cormo "tree trunk" and philum "to like".
