Paratupua Explained

Paratupua is a monotypic genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Physoglenidae found in Victoria, Australia.^[1] It contains the single species, Paratupua grayi. Though it's sometimes misspelled Paratupa, the correct spelling is "Paratupua".

Both genus and species were first described by Norman I. Platnick in 1990,^[2] who placed it with the Synotaxidae. In 2017, it was moved to the Physoglenidae.^[3]
