Type
species of
Parachaetoceras
was redescribed by
Mitra (1984)
based on a
syntype
determined by Womersley and on material from Salmon. This genus, as well as
Plumachaetas
, also has long antennae with long straight chaetae, but distinctly differs from the latter in presence of dental spines, and narrow scales. It is also similar to
Paronana
Womersley,
1939
in bidentate mucro, and the presence of a row of dental spines, but can be distinguished from the latter by the long antennae, the long straight antennal chaetae, and narrow scales (thickened chaetae and scaleless in
Paronana
).
