"Paracenobiopelma" is a monotypic genus of barychelid trapdoor spiders from Brazil.

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".
