Yoroa is a genus of South Pacific comb-footed spiders that was first described by L. Baert in 1984. it contains two species, found in Australia and Papua New Guinea: Y. clypeoglandularis and Y. taylori.

The authors when describing a second species from northern Queensland – Yoroa taylori – also revised the descriptions of the genus and New Guinea species with specimens of the previously unknown females.
