Summary: | Genus Cistenides Malmgren, 1865 Type species and type locality Sabella granulata Linnaeus, 1767. Northern Europe; type never designated (Holthe 1986). Remarks The diagnosis of the genus in Hutchings & Peart (2002) includes “. chaetigers 4 to 16 biramous with notopodia, neuropodia, notochaetae and neurochaetae, chaetiger 17 with notopodia and notochaetae only (17/13) …” and the presence of a single row of teeth on the uncini as well. Considering the last character, Hutchings & Peart (2002) transferred four species previously referred to Cistenides, namely C. aegyptia Savigny, 1822, C. chilensis (Nilsson, 1928), C. gouldii Verrill, 1874 and C. regalis Verrill, 1900, to the genus Pectinaria, because of having uncini with two rows of teeth, a character supposedly typical of this genus. We think that both characters could be reconsidered (see Discussion below).
