Paratropididae, also known as bald-legged spiders, is a small family of mygalomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1889.[1] They are more closely related to tarantulas and allies, than to most other 'true' spiders (araneomorphs).

Genera

As of March 2023[update], the World Spider Catalog accepts the following genera:[2]

  • Anisaspis Simon, 1892 – Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
  • Anisaspoides F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1896 – Brazil
  • Paratropis Simon, 1889 – South America
  • Stormtropis Perafán, Galvis & Pérez-Miles, 2019
