Ampharetidae (Annelida: Polychaeta) from cold seeps off Pakistan and hydrothermal vents off Taiwan, with the description of three new species Reuscher, Michael G. Fiege, Dieter Zootaxa 2016 4139 2 197 208 ae10ac9a-9c83-431c-9ec7-9a65ad5190ee Kuznetsov & Levenstein, 1988 Kuznetsov & Levenstein 1988 [151,640,448,474] Polychaeta Ampharetidae Pavelius Animalia Terebellida 7 204 Annelida genus   Typespecies:  Pavelius uschakovi Kuznetsov & Levenstein, 1988   Generic diagnosis (emended).Prostomium without lobes or glandular ridges. Buccal tentacles smooth. Four pairs of branchiae. Notochaetae in segment II present, followed by fifteen thoracic chaetigers. Twelve thoracic uncinigers. Two intermediate uncinigers. Males with one pair of nephridial papillae above notopodia of first thoracic unciniger.   Remarks.The generic diagnosis was emended to accommodate our findings in the newly described species. The genus was described lacking notopodial rudiments, which we found in the intermediate uncinigers and first abdominal unciniger. The large nephridial papillae above the notopodia of the first thoracic unciniger only seem to occur in male specimens. We do not follow Jirkov (2001, 2011), who suggested to synonymize  Paveliuswith  Phyllocomus Grube, 1878.  Phyllocomusis characterized by strongly modified branchiae and a very large number of abdominal uncinigers.
