Diagnosis. Head fused (suture present) with pereonite 1. Pereonites 6 and 7 fused. Flagellum of antenna 1 more than two-articulate. Flagellum of antenna 2 two-articulate, swimming setae absent.

Abdomen without appendages.
Etymology. The name is derived from ancient Greek πΑΡά (Para, which means “near”, “next to”, “closely related” or “closely resembling” among others) and “ Pseudaeginella ”, because the new genus is very similar to Pseudaeginella Mayer, 1890 .
Type species. Parapseudaeginella australiensis n. sp.
