The genus was named by the English carcinologist Lancelot Alexander Borradaile in 1915. He set out the distinguishing features of the genus as: ''Pericimaenaeus robustus'' is known only from the type specimen which was collected off Amirante Islands by the Western Indian Ocean Expeditions of John Stanley Gardiner, Prof. J. Stanley Gardiner and described in 1915 and again in 1917 by Borradaile, it was re-described by Dr A.J. "Sandy" Bruce of the Queensland Museum in 2005. Biological notes ''Periclimenaeus'' consists of number of species of small shrimps classified in the subfamily Pontoniinae. They occur mainly in tropical seas, especially in and around coral reefs.

Lancelot Alexander Borradaile
Lancelot Alexander Borradaile (1872 – 20 October 1945) was an English zoologist, noted for his work on crustaceans and his books ''The Invertebrata'' and ''Manual of Elementary Zoology''. Legacy Borradaile may be best known for his undergraduate textbook titled ''Manual of Elementary Zoology'', and for ''The Invertebrata: a manual for the use of students'', co-written with F. A. Potts. As well as these generalist works, Borradaile also worked as a carcinologist. He published an important monograph ''On the Pontoniinae'' in 1917, based on material collected by the 1905 Percy Sladen Trust Expedition to the Indian Ocean, led by John Stanley Gardiner. He worked extensively on crabs and similar animals, and coined the term "carcinisation" to describe "one of the many attempts of Nature to evolve a crab". He is commemorated in the scientific names '' Metapenaeopsis borradaili'', '' Athanas borradailei'', '' Corallianassa borradailei'', '' Accalathura borradailei'' and '' Petrolisth ...
