Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- It might reasonably have been supposed that Paramecera was no more than a subsequent usage in an incorrect spelling of the name Paramacera published by Butler earlier in the same year, if it had not been for the fact that in introducing Paramecera, Butler described it as "gen. nov." and made no reference whatever to his own earlier name Paramacera. In the circumstances it must be assumed that, when he introduced the name Paramecera, Butler forgot altogether about his own earlier name Paramacera. In view of Butler's express statement that Paramecera was the name of a new genus, it is so treated here. The name Paramecera Butler, [July] 1868, is invalid as being a junior objective synonym - though under Article 56 (a) not a junior homonym of the name Paramacera Butler, Feb. 1868. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
