Diagnosis Authors: "Pisionidens ixazaluohae n. sp. is characterized by having only one pair of copulatory organs, while the previously described species possess two to four pairs. P. ixazaluohae n. sp. differs from P. indica (Aiyar & Alikuhni 1940) and Pisionidens tchesunovi, Tzetlin 1987 by lacking true parapodia on segments with copulatory organs. This feature is similarly found in Pisionidens maturata, Yamanishi 1976. However, P. ixazaluohae n. sp. is distinguished from P. maturata and P. indica by having one continuous series of midventral pores (versus two separate series of ventral pores)." [details]
