Paratobias
Paratobias is a monotypic genus of Central American crab spiders containing the single species, Paratobias championi. It was first described by Frederick Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1900, and it has only been found in Panama. Eugène Simon synonymized it with Stephanopis in 1903 due to several similarities to the genus, but Machado & Teixeira revalidated the genus in 2021, citing the distinctive trapezoidal shape of the abdomen as well as several differences in eye morphology.
