Remarks

• Systematics: Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2014) used the name "Pelionella multipora" before it was made available in Kaydan, 2015. According to article 16 (specifically 16.1 and 16.4) of the ICZN (1999), this name must be considered unavailable from their work. Kaydan, 2015 meets the criteria of availability as specified by the ICZN (1999). Pelionella multipora can be readily distinguished from other Pelionella species in having the following combination of features: (i) 2 sizes of oral collar tubular ducts in each cluster; (ii) each dorsal cluster with 5-16 (usually 8-10) multilocular disc pores; and (iii) few quinquelocular pores on venter. Pelionella multipora is most similar to P. manifecta in having 2 sizes of oral collar tubular duct on dorsum, but differs in having many more multilocular disc pores in each cluster (only 2-6 in P. manifecta). P. multipora is also similar to P. balteata and P. cycliger in having some dorsal clusters with 5 or more multilocular disc pores, but differs from both species in having 2 sizes of oral collar tubular duct in each cluster (P. balteata and P. cycliger have only 1 small oral collar tubular duct in each cluster). (Kaydan, 2015)
• Structure: Body elongate oval, 1.88-3.36 mm long, 0.84-1.94 mm wide. Eyes marginal, 40-55 µm wide. Antenna 9 segmented, 450-610 µm long; apical segment 60-68 µm long, 25.0-30.0 µm wide; apical setae 35-40 µm long plus 3 fleshy setae 27-35 µm long. (Kaydan, 2015)
