Eurythoe Kinberg, 1857 View in CoL

Eurythoe Kinberg, 1857: 13 View in CoL ; Kinberg 1867: 90 (list of species); Baird 1868: 221 (diagn., list of species); Kinberg 1910: 35 (diagn.); Bindra 1927: 1 (diagn., key to species), Hartman 1948: 42 (type species: E. capensis Kinberg, 1857 View in CoL ), Hartman 1959: 133 (type species, list of species); Day 1967: 127 (diagn.); Fauchald 1977: 102 (diagn.).

Type species. Eurythoe capensis Kinberg, 1857 View in CoL , by subsequent designation ( Hartman 1948: 42).

Diagnosis (modif. Fauchald 1977). Amphinominae with body long, rectangular in cross section; prostomium with two pairs of eyes; caruncle long with a thick, smooth median ridge covering the narrow lateral lobes; branchiae dendritically branched from chaetigers 1–3, continued to posterior end; dorsal cirri single.

Remarks. Eurythoe includes mostly tropical, shallow water species. Bindra (1927) reviewed the known species, provided a key to species, and described two new species from India. As is the case in many other amphinomid genera, a revision is needed for Eurythoe .
