Systematics: Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2014) used the name "Pelionella stellarocheae" before the genus name was made available in Kaydan, 2015 where the new combination was made available in a manner that satisfies the requirements on the Code (ICZN, 1999). P. stellarocheae differs from all other species in the genus in having a reduced number of marginal cerarii. Cerarii are present on head and abdomen but are reduced or absent on the pro- and mesothorax. (Kaydan, 2015
Structure: Adult female elongate oval, 1.56-1.75 mm long, 1.02-1.15 mm wide. Eyes marginal, 37.5-47.5 ìm wide. Antenna 9 segmented, 310-350 µm long; apical segment 47.5-55.0 µm long, 20-25 µm wide; apical setae 25-35 µm long plus 3 fleshy setae, each 22.5-35.0 µm long. (Kaydan, 2015)
General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Goux (1990a).
