INFUECO stations: BC3 0710, 1 specimen, 353 m depth. Remarks. The cladistic analysis of the species of the genus Pionosyllis (San Martín et al. 2009) has elucidated that P. dionisi is related to Paraehlersia , which currently has eight valid species (Prado & San Martín 2024), two of them inhabiting the waters of the Canary Islands, P. dionisi and P. ferrugina (Langerhans, 1881). Habitat. The type locality of P. dionisi is the east coast of Tenerife, collected in coralligenous circalittoral substrates of Dendrophyllia ramea , coarse sand, silt with stones, of 40–466 m depth. Distribution. From the Cantabrian Sea to the Canary Islands, Mediterranean Sea and Elephant Island (South Shetlands, Antarctica) (San Martín 2003; San Martín et al. 2009).
