Paraguraleus is a genus of minute gastropod molluscs in the family Mangeliidae. First described by A. W. B. Powell in 1944, the genus includes both extant species and fossil species dating back to the early Oligocene. Both extant and fossil species have only been found in Australia.
In the original description, Powell described the genus as below:
Paraguraleus was first described by A. W. B. Powell in 1944 as a subgenus, naming Guraleus balcombensis the type species. It was raised to genus status by as early as 1954. Powell synonymised the genus with Antiguraleus in 1966. Alan Beu synoynymised both Antiguraleus and Paraguraleus with the genus Propebela in 2011. This synonymisation is accepted by the Australian Faunal Directory, but not by the World Register of Marine Species.
Paraguraleus fossils date from the early Oligocene and the Miocene, and are found in the Otway Basin, Port Phillip Basin, St Vincent Basin and Eucla Basin of Australia. Living taxa are endemic to Australia.
Species within the genus Paraguraleus include:
