(Keyserling, 1886)

Paratheridula is a monotypic genus of comb-footed spiders containing the single species, Paratheridula perniciosa. The sole species was first described in 1886 under the name Theridion perniciosum.[2] The genus was first described by Herbert Walter Levi in 1957,[3] though it has been described under several different names, including Mysmena 4-maculata,[4] Theridion quadrimaculatum,[5] and Theridion arcadicum,[6]

It has been found from Florida to southern Chile, with a possible pantropical distribution,[1] and is suspected to have been introduced elsewhere.
