The genus Pterartoria Purcell, 1903 (Araneae: Lycosidae) is revised. The eight species originally included in the genus are redescribed and two new species, P. cederbergensis n. sp. and P. confusa n. sp., are described and figured for the first time. The genus Pteratoriola Roewer, 1959 is synonymized with Pterartoria. An illustrated key to all known species is provided and the systematic position of the genus is discussed.
