Description Paraspio erected for Spio decoratus [sic] Bobretzky on page 360. In the course of a dichotomous key Czerniavsky simply names Paraspio as n.g. with "(Spio decoratus Bobr. 1871)" following. On p.367 there is a Latin diagnosis of Paraspio as "Caput antennis destitutum, in fronte late rotundatum, parte anteriore a poster subdivisa; осulis 4 postice sitis. Segmenta similia, posticum papillis 4 angutis terminatum. Branchiae simplices in omnibus segmentis setigeris" [details]

Description Paraspio erected for Spio decoratus [sic] Bobretzky on page 360. In the course of a dichotomous key Czerniavsky simply names Paraspio as n.g. with "(Spio decoratus Bobr. 1871)" following. On p.367 there is a Latin diagnosis of Paraspio as "Caput antennis destitutum, in fronte late rotundatum, parte anteriore a poster subdivisa; осulis 4 postice sitis. Segmenta similia, posticum papillis 4 angutis terminatum. Branchiae simplices in omnibus segmentis setigeris" [details]

Synonymy Foster (1971) is one source for treatment of Paraspio as synonym of Spio. Day (1973: 76) also states (in text remarks) that Paraspio is a synonym of Spio, mentioning Holmquist (1967) comments, but Holmquist does not explicitly make a synonymy. Note P. minuta has been referred to Microspio and P. jonesi is a cataloguing error and thus a nomen nudum. Subsequent to Maciolek (1990), where Paraspio is listed as a synonym of Spio, there appears to be no further usages of the genus. [details]

Taxonomy According to Banse & Hobson (1968: 29) Hartman catalogue and supplement list the following species in Paraspio: P. africana (Rullier), P. armata (Thulin), P. minuta Hartmann-Schroder, P. kussakini (Chlebovich), P. theeli (Soderstrom), P. wireni (Augener), P. mecznikowiana (Claparede), P. rolasiana (Augener), P. arctica (Soderstrom), P. atlantica (Langerhans). Hartman included Microspio species in Paraspio, but it is currently a valid genus.

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. [details]
