Grammatical gender Feminine. The authors do not state the gender but it is feminine following the feminine gender of 'Syllis' which is the carried-over second part of the compound name and is derived from a Greek female name. Somewhat paradoxically all the names so far (as at 2024) are genitives relating to people or are geographic, rather than purely adjectival. [details]
