Type species Type species remains Chrysopetalum fragile Ehlers, 1864, although it is evidently an unnecessary name replacing Grube's name Palmyra debilis Grube 1855 [now Chrysopetalum debile]. Type species cannot be Palymyra debilis directly. The connection is objective as referring to the same worm and Chrysopetalum debile was indirectly included in the genus. [details]

Etymology Note stated. Petalum is a neuter Latin noun meaning a metal plate, and chrysos is a masculine noun meaning gold or golden, thus golden plate, and the genus is neuter. [details]Grammatical gender Neuter. Petalum is neuter and for the type species Ehlers combined it with fragile which is the neuter form of the adjective fragilis -ile. [details]
Taxonomy Day (1962:635 and 1967:116) put Chrysopetalum fragile Ehlers, 1864, type of Chrysopetalum, into Paleanotus, consequently synonymising Chrysopetalum into Paleanotus. Perkins (1985:865) restored Chrysopetalum as valid. [details]
