Paratamboicus was a genus of harvestmen in the family Sclerosomatidae from the Americas, described by Mello-Leitão 1940 with the type-species by original designation being Paratamboicus bicornutus Mello-Leitão, 1940. It was much later considered as Junior subjective synonym of Holcobunus Roewer 1910 by Tourinho & Kury (2001).

Species

In older online sources, several species have been listed in the genus, although for many the presented combination does not have any support in the published literature

For most of the above, see genera such as Holcobunus and Garleppa where the species were first described. Most have never been revised taxonomically since their description.
