Propiomarengo is a small genus of southern African jumping spiders that was first described by G. N. Azarkina and C. R. Haddad in 2020.[2] The type species, Propiomarengo plana, was originally described under the name "Afromarengo plana",[3] but was moved to a new genus in 2020 when a similar species was discovered in South Africa.[2] As of April 2022 it contains only two species: P. foordi and P. plana.[1]
