Paracyrba is a spider genus of the Salticidae family (jumping spiders).
Its microhabitat are the water-filled hollow internodes of decaying bamboo, where it preys for aquatic animals, especially mosquito larvae.[1]
[edit] Name
The genus name is a combination of the Ancient Greek para "near to" and the name of the related genus Cyrba.
The species is named in honor of Fred R. Wanless, who contributed much to the knowledge about the subfamily Spartaeinae.
