Taxonomic remark The type of Gurjanova's genus Parametaphoxus was based on Metaphoxus fultoni (Scott, 1890). The latter is an eastern Atlantic species having the same form of male peraeopod copulatory apparatus as in M. frequens and other members of the genus Metaphoxus (e.g. M. pectinatus, Walker).
However, the species from the N. American Pacific region, formerly identified as M. fultoni, has a different type of copulatory apparatus than that of the eastern Atlantic TYPE of M. fultoni. Thus, the eastern Pacific form is a distinctly different species (newly named P. quaylei). Since Gurjanova (1977) was referring to the eastern Pacific form of "M. fultoni", that form becomes the type of her valid new genus, Parametaphoxus.

The name Parametaphoxus fultoni was used in Barnard & Karaman, 1991, prior to Jarrett & Bousfield's 1994 revision of these taxa.  [details]
