In morphology, the genus is close to  TuberilloSchultz, 1982( Taiti et al. 1992). But it can be distinguished by the frontal shield protruding less over the vertex, the pereonites 2−7 with triangular epimera instead of quadrangular epimera, and the pereonite 1 with a small ventral lobe instead of a schisma ( Kwon & Taiti 1993).   List of  Parakermaniaspecies      Parakermania minima Vandel, 1973.   Parakermania minima  Vandel, 1973: 142, figs. 109−110. Typelocality: Dyaul Island, New Ireland, Bismarck Archipelago.
