| Notes |
Description: Paraspio erected for Spio decoratus Bobretzky on page 360. In the course of a dichotomous key Czerniavsky simply names Paraspio as n.g. with "(Spio decoratus Bobr. 1871)" following. [details] Synonymy: Foster (1971) is one source for treatment of Paraspio as synonym of Spio. There may well be earlier sources for this. Note P. minuta has been referred to Microspio and P. jonesi is a cataloguing error and thus a nomen nudum. [details] Type designation: Hartman (Catalogue 1959:382) wrongly has Spio mecznikowianus Claparede as the type species, although by monotypy it must be S. decoratus, perhaps because (page 390) she referred S. decoratus to S. mecznikowianus, while also (page 382) she placed Microspio (currently a valid genus with S. mecznikowianus as type) as a synonym of Paraspio.
