Paramontana is a small genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Raphitomidae.[1]
This genus was originally defined solely by the non-planctotrophic protoconch morphology of its species. It should be considered as a synonym of either Kermia or Pseudodaphnella [2]

- Paramontana mayana (Hedley, 1922)
- Paramontana modesta (Angas, 1877)
- Paramontana punicea (Hedley, 1922)
- Paramontana rufozonata (Angas, 1877)
