Sergey Jacques Paramonov (4 November 1894, Kharkiv – 22 September 1967, Canberra) was an entomologist and paleontologist, a founder of Ukrainian and Australian dipterology. He scientifically described about 700 species and subspecies of biological families: Bombyliidae, Asilidae, Syrphidae, Nemestrinidae, Tachinidae, Pyrgotidae, etc.
Sergey Paramonov published over 185 scientific articles, some of which were published posthumously.
In his first article, that was written in the Russian Empire in the Pre-reform Russian orthography, his name was given as С. Я. Парамоновъ and translated into English as S. I. Paramonov. In articles written in Ukrainian language he signed as С. Парамонов or С. Я. Парамонов, the same as in Russian language, in German language he used spelling of his name S. J. Paramonow.
When he arrived in Australia, his full name was filled as Paramonov, Sergey Jacques in his form for application of registration. His scientific articles written in Australia were signed as S. J. Paramonov. Although in private life he often used Ukrainian transliteration of his full name Сергій Якович Парамонів - Serhiy Yakowich Paramoniv, and the inscription on his gravestone is written in this way.
