Parajotus is a genus of African jumping spiders that was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1903. [2] As of August 2019 [update] it contains only three species, found only in Africa: P. cinereus, P. obscurofemoratus, and P. refulgens. [1] The name is a combination of the Ancient Greek " para" (παρά), meaning "alongside", and the related genus Jotus.
