A new generic name Paravojnovskya Doweld is established for Carboniferous/Permian umbellate strobili of Angaraland pteridospermous plants replacing the illegitimate Gaussia M. F. Neuburg, 1934, which is a later homonym of Gaussia H. A. Wendland, 1865, used for recent palms. Three new combinations are made to transfer all described species of Gaussia to Paravojnovskya: P. cristata (M. F. Neuburg) Doweld, P. scutellata (M. F. Neuburg) Doweld and P. imbricata (Naugolnykh) Doweld.
