Pirella Schlesner and Hirsch 1984, gen. nov.
Type species: ¤ Pirella staleyi Schlesner and Hirsch 1984.
Etymology: L. n. pirum, pear; L. fem. dim. ending -ella; N.L. fem. n. Pirella, a small pear, referring to the shape of the bacterium.

---> ¤ Pirellula Schlesner and Hirsch 1987, gen. nov.

Note: The name Pirella is illegitimate because of precedence of the fungal genus Pirella Bainier 1883 [Rule 51b(4)]. Consequently, a new genus designation Pirellula has been proposed by Schlesner and Hirsch 1987.
