'''''Paranomalocaris''''' is a genus of radiodont recovered from the Cambrian Stage 4 aged Wulongqing Formation, eastern Yunnan. It contains two species, '''''Paranomalocaris multisegmentalis''''' and '''''P. simplex'''''.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Jiao|first1=De-guang|last2=Pates|first2=Stephen|last3=Lerosey-Aubril|first3=Rudy|last4=Ortega-Hernandez|first4=Javier|last5=Yang|first5=Jie|last6=Lan|first6=Tian|last7=Zhang|first7=Xi-guang|date=2021|title=The endemic radiodonts of the Cambrian Stage 4 Guanshan biota of South China|journal=Acta Palaeontologica Polonica|language=en|volume=66|doi=10.4202/app.00870.2020|s2cid=236683029|issn=0567-7920|doi-access=free}}</ref> It is only known from its frontal appendage.
The frontal appendage features endites with numerous auxiliary spines, and at least 22 segments (podomeres), hence the specific name ''multisegmentalis''.<ref name="Guanshananomalocardids">{{Cite journal|author1=YuanYuan Wang |author2=DiYing Huang |author3=ShiXue Hu |year=2013 |title=New anomalocardid frontal appendages from the Guanshan biota, eastern Yunnan |journal=Chinese Science Bulletin |volume=58 |issue=32 |pages=3937–3942 |doi=10.1007/s11434-013-5908-x |bibcode=2013ChSBu..58.3937W |doi-access=free }}</ref>
