Etymology Not stated by the author. The name of the genus could refer to Proclea (or Proklia), a mythological character of the classic Greece, described as being the daughter of Laomedon, King of Troy, or Klytius, son of Laomedon. She would have married Cycnus, King of Colonae and son of Poseidon, having two children, Tenes and Hemithea. Other versions state that Tenes was the son of the god Apollo. [details]

Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Saint-Joseph (1894: 180; from key): "I. Plaques oncinales aviculaires avec rangées transversales de denticules au vertex. // A. Pas de branchies. // a. Plaques oncinales à base courte et vertex élevé ayant un très grand nombre de crêtes (7 à 11). — Rangées transversales de 3 denticules? // ß. Sans prolongement postérieur. // ß2 Soies de deux sortes, les unes à pointe unie, les autres à pointe dentelée, commençant au 3me segment. — Plaques oncinales en double rangée opposée à quelques segments. — Peu de segments sétigères. Proclea N. G." [details]Etymology Not stated by the author. The name of the genus could refer to Proclea (or Proklia), a mythological character of the classic Greece, described as being the daughter of Laomedon, King of Troy, or Klytius, son of Laomedon. She would have married Cycnus, King of Colonae and son of Poseidon, having two children, Tenes and Hemithea. Other versions state that Tenes was the son of the god Apollo. [details]
Type designation The genus Proclea was erected by Saint-Joseph (1894: 180) to include one single species, Leaena graffii Langerhans, 1884 (type by monotypy): "Il y a aussi là des espèces qui, à cause de la forme de leurs plaques oncinales, ne rentrent pas dans les genres de Malmgren et dont plusieurs, en y joignant les espèces de Langerhans, me paraissent devoir former 4 genres nouveaux: [...]; Proclea pour la Leaena Graffii [...]."
