Parafluda is a monotypic genus of jumping spiders containing the single species, Parafluda banksi. It was first described by Arthur Merton Chickering in 1946,[2] and is only found in Argentina and Panama.[1] The name is a combination of the Ancient Greek "para" (παρά), meaning "alongside", and the salticid genus Fluda. The species is named in honor of Nathan Banks.[2]
