Paramongaia is named after the location Paramonga in Peru, so the ending -ia is perhaps
just the Latin ending. The name has nothing to do with the Greek Gaea, I think. It
certainly is on the top of my list of five.

And better make that Paramongaia, not Paramongaea, although I suspect that
the latter is grammatically correct and the former is based on an unorthodox
transliteration from the Greek.
