Paranarthrura Hansen, 1913 Hansen (1913): 121–122. Lang (1971b): 367–368. Bird & Holdich (1989): 139, 143. Larsen (2005): 120–121, 138, 140. Larsen (2007): 54. Remarks. This genus remains somewhat heterogeneous (Bird & Holdich, 1989; Larsen 2007) and possibly polyphyletic, particularly with regard to smaller species such as P. borealis and P. subtilis (see below). This issue is probably best interrogated within a phylogenetic review of possibly related, or apparently convergent, taxa such as Allodaposia Sieg, 1986, Arthrura Kudinova-Pasternak, 1966, Caudalonga Larsen, 2005, Libanius Lang, 1971, Macrinella Lang, 1971 and Pseudoarthrura Larsen, 2005.
