Paropsonema is an eldonioid known from the Devonian of upstate New York and (if P. mirabile is a species of Paropsonema rather than Discophyllum) the Silurian of southern Australia. It is the latest-surviving known member of the Eldonioidea and Cambroernida.[1]

A specimen described in 2018 may represent an additional species, but has been tentatively assigned to P. cryptohya;[3] it represents the youngest described paropsonemid.[4]

The species Discophyllum mirabile has been thought to be closer to Paropsonema than to the sole previously-described species of Discophyllum, D. peltata.[5] As a result, sources treat it as Paropsonema mirabile.[1] Conversely, at least one worker has treated P. cryptophya as a member of Discophyllum, D. cryptophya, although this has not been followed by later authors.[6] Regardless, Paropsonema and Discophyllum are grouped together informally as "paropsonemids."[6][1]
