Name

The genus name is combined from the Ancient Greek "para" (παρά), meaning "near to", and the genus name "Cenobiopelma", now renamed "Oligoxystre". "Cenobiopelma" is derived from the Ancient Greek roots ceno "evacuation", bio "life", and pelma "sole of the foot".

The species name is derived from the roots ger "to carry", cormo "tree trunk" and philum "to like".
