Paracyphononyx is a genus of spider wasps distributed in the tropics and warmer temperate regions; they differ from other pompilids in that they do not permanently disable the host spider but allow the spider to resume activity after the wasp has laid its egg on the spider while the wasp larva exists as koinobiont ectoparasitoid of the spider.{{cite journal | last1 = da Silva Souza | first1 = Hebert | last2 = Fanchini Messas | first2= Yuri | first3 = Fabiana | last3 = Masago | first4 = Eduardo Fernando | last4 = dos Santos | first5 = João | last5 = Vasconcellos-Neto | year = 2015 | title = Paracyphononyx scapulatus (Hymenoptera, Pompilidae), a koinobiont ectoparasitoid of Trochosa sp.
