Parakaketio longiprostatus sp.n. is described from shallow marine water in S.E. Florida. The male ducts of the new genus Parakaketio resemble those of Kaketio Righi & Kanner, 1979, but do not end as voluminous, eversible pseudopenes, rather as simple tubes opening directly to the exterior through simple pores.
