Genus Amphictene Lamarck, 1818

Type species and type locality

Amphictene auricoma Müller, 1776 . Denmark; type probably lost or never designated (Holthe 1986).

Remarks

The genus is characterized according to Hutchings & Peart (2002) by having neurochaetal uncini with major teeth arranged in two rows. However, an examination of BIOICE specimens of A. auricoma suggests that this character could be reassessed (see Discussion below).
