Description
Summary:Key to Ampharetidae genera occurring in Antarctica In order to simplify the task of genera recognition of not trained people we have assembled a dichotomic key hoping that this would speed the recognition of the different Antarctic ampharetid genera. 1. Three or four anterior segments with vertical rows of minute acicular chaetae....................................................................................................................................... Melinninae Chamberlin, 1919...2 – Minute acicular chaetae absent................................................ Ampharetinae Malmgren, 1866 …3 2. Hooks (usually one pair) and dorsal crest (usually one and dentate) behind the branchiae present........................................................................................................ Melinna Malmgren, 1866 – Hooks absent, dorsal crest present.............................................. Melinnides Wesenberg-Lund, 1950 (= Melinnantipoda) – Hooks and dorsal crest ... : Published as part of Schiaparelli, Stefano & Jirkov, Igor A., 2021, Contribution to the taxonomic knowledge of Ampharetidae (Annelida) from Antarctica with the description of Amage giacomobovei sp. nov., pp. 125-145 in European Journal of Taxonomy 733 on pages 138-139, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2021.733.1227, http://zenodo.org/record/4529795 ...
