Pionosyllis dionisi new species is characterized by having short antennae and dorsal cirri, strongly articulated anteriorly and smooth posteriorly and in midbody; compound setae with thin, bidentate blades, with dorsoventral gradation, and solitary posterior acicula with a rounded tip and provided with a short mucron.
