Etymology The generic name combines the prefix of Greek origin para-, meaning 'like' or 'resembling', and the name of the genus Eupolymnia Verrill, 1900, and refers to the similarity between the two genera: "The new genus is erected on the ground that, although it resembles Eupolymnia Verrill, 1900, in some respects, it differs in several important characters, most particularly in that all of the undamaged specimens examined by us have two pairs of gills, not three as in Eupolymnia" (Young & Kritzer, 1987: 687). [details]

Diagnosis Origigal diagnosis by Yojng & Kritzler (1987: 687): "The genus Paraeupolymnia [...] is characterized by the virtual absence of ventral glandular scutes, by lateral lappets only on the second segment, by thoracic setigers bearing smooth-tipped winged capillaries on segments 3 through 19, by avicular uncini without long basal shafts in single rows on setigers 2 through 7, in double rows face to face on setigers 8 through 17, and single rows throughout the abdomen, and by a pair of dichotomously branched gills on both segments 2 and 3." [details]
