After Boxshall & Halsey (2004, p.622) the genus was originally placed in the Oncaeidae, with some reservations because of differences in the structure of A2 and swimming legs. Boxshall & Huys (1988-1989) established a new family for Paralubbockia, on the basis of these differences and the extreme plesiomorphic condition of the ventrally located P5. The family retains a trace of the geniculation mechanism in the male A1, as indicated by the distal fusion of segments that remain separate in the adult female.
Family Paralubbockiidae - Plate 1Issued from Boxshall & Halsey in The Ray Society, 2004, Part II. [p.622].

Armature formula of swimming legs P1 to P4.

Nota: Inner seta on basis 1 absent. Inner coxal seta absent in all legs.
- P5 uniramous, located ventrally on somite, either side of midline; protopod incorporated into somite, represented by outer seta; exopod 1-segmented, armed with 2 distal setae; length and ornamentation of exopodal setae markedly sexually dimorphic.
- P6 represented by genital operculum bearing 2 setae in female; unarmed in male.
