[1] Parisi studied a large collection of Japanese decapods (Decapoda), which the museum acquired from Alan Owston (1853-1915), a British merchant and collector of natural history objects based in Yokohama.
He described 23 new taxa of decapods in the Zoological notices I decapodi giapponesi del museo di Milano, published from 1914 to 1919 in the Museum Journal.
[1] During the air raids of Allied forces to Milan in August 1943, the museum was severely damaged by firebombs, whereby an important part of the collections and the library get lost.
In 1924, Italian zoologist Oscar de Beaux commemorated Parisi in the epithet of Parissi's slit-faced bat (Nycteris parisii).
In 1956, Dutch zoologist Lipke Holthuis named the Malagasy decapod genus Parisia in honor of Bruno Parisi.
