Paragordius is a genus of worms belonging to the family Chordodidae.[1] It was independently described by both Lorenzo Camerano in 1897 and Thomas Harrison Montgomery Jr. in 1898, though both authors gave the genus the same name.[2]
The genus has almost cosmopolitan distribution,[1] although most species are known from the Afrotropic and Neotropic regions.[2] Females of the genus are notable for having three posterior lobes, while males have long tail lobes, allowing Paragordius species to be readily identified.[2]
