Paraeupolymnia Young & Kritzler, 1987 is redefined and its type species, P. carus Young & Kritzler, 1987, is redescribed. It is easily recognized by the presence of two pairs of branchiae on segments two and three, and one pair of lateral lappets on segments two/three; its distribution is expanded to include localities in Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, Lesser Antilles and Venezuela. Paraeupolymnia garciagomezi sp. nov. is described from the Florida Keys; it differs from its congeners by the presence of a region with many tubercles on the thoracic dorsal surface, and a rounded emergent papillae between the noto- and neuropodia. Finally, P. uspiana Nogueira, 2003, is transferred to Nicolea Malmgren, 1866, because of the lack of lateral lappets, and variation in the number of thoracic chaetigers.
