Remarks

• Systematics: Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2014) used the name "Pelionella sablia" before the genus name was made available in Kaydan, 2015 when the new combination was made available in a manner that satisfies the requirements on the Code (ICZN, 1999). Pelionella sablia is most similar to P. grassiana and P. proeminens in lacking a circulus but differs in having fewer than 4 pairs of marginal cerarii (14-17 pairs in the other two species). P. sablia is also similar to P. glandulifer and P. kansui in having fewer than 7 marginal pairs of cerarii but differs in having: (i) quinquelocular pores throughout most of venter (restricted to around mouthparts in P. glandulifera, absent in P. kansui) and (ii) no circulus (present in both of the other species). (Kaydan, 2015)
• Structure: Adult female elongate oval, 1.40-2.20 mm long, 0.75-1.48 mm wide. Eyes marginal, 55-65 µm wide. Antenna 8 segmented, 360-380 µm long; apical segment 50-55 µm long, 25-35 µm wide; apical setae 35µ40 ìm long and 3 fleshy setae 30µ35 ìm long. (Kaydan, 2015)
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Goux (1989a).
