Parabomis is a genus of African spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 1901 by Władysław Kulczyński.
==Description== Parabomis spiders are characterized by their small size, short legs, globular bodies, and thick granulose integument. The female carapace is very high with a strong posterior declivity. The eye pattern is distinct with both anterior and posterior median and lateral eyes closely grouped. The carapace is fawn with the clypeus and eye region strongly infused with white. The lateral side is dark yellow to fawn with dark brown patches.
