As of May 2020 [update] it contains four species, found in Asia, Africa, and Europe: [1]
- Paidiscura dromedaria ( Simon, 1880) – Cape Verde Is., Spain, France, Italy, Greece, North Africa to Middle East
- Paidiscura orotavensis ( Schmidt, 1968) – Canary Is., Madeira
- Paidiscura pallens (Blackwall, 1834) ( type) – Europe, Algeria, Turkey, Georgia, Russia ( Europe to South Siberia)
- Paidiscura subpallens (Bösenberg & Strand, 1906) – China, Korea, Japan
Formerly included:
- P. genistae (Simon, 1873) (Transferred to Theridion)
- P. genistae (Charitonov, 1946) (Transferred to Theridion)
- P. musiva (Simon, 1873) (Transferred to Ruborridion)
- P. pinicola (Simon, 1873) (Transferred to Theridion)
In synonymy:
- P. bigibba (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1912) = Paidiscura dromedaria (Simon, 1880)
- P. caboverdensis (Schmidt & Piepho, 1994) = Paidiscura dromedaria (Simon, 1880)
- P. caninotata (Bösenberg & Strand, 1906) = Paidiscura subpallens (Bösenberg & Strand, 1906)
- P. mirabilis (Zhu, Zhang & Xu, 1991) = Paidiscura subpallens (Bösenberg & Strand, 1906)
