Paramaevia Explained

Paramaevia is a genus of jumping spiders in the family Salticidae. There are at least three described species in Paramaevia.

Taxonomy

The group was first described as a subgenus of Maevia in 1955, and elevated to a genus in 1958. In 1977, it was reduced to a junior synonym of Maevia. This was rejected by Jerzy Prószyński in 2017. When included in Maevia, it was placed in the tribe Dendryphantini, part of the Salticoida clade of the subfamily Salticinae.
