Parachauliodes is a genus of fishfly in the family Corydalidae. They are present throughout Eastern Asia, likely originating on the Korean peninsula before dispersing to the Japanese archipelago 15 mya.
== Description == Parachauliodes are differentiated from other genera of fishflies by the presence of bi-lobed ectoproct in males and usually having serrated antenna in both sexes. The former genus Sinochauliodes was found to be a synonym of Parachauliodes.
