Type species Fauvel, (1923: 289) does not name a type species. He included four species first named in Pionosyllis by Perantoni (1903). These are P. gestans, P. papillosa, P. elegans, & P. minuta. Hartman (1959: 215) simply listed the first of Fauvel's recombinations, 'Parapionosyllis gestans' as type species, thus its original name Pionosyllis gestans became type species by subsequent designation.
