“…This fact, along with insufficient diagnoses for many taxa, makes necessary a worldwide revision of the systematics of the group. As a first step to achieve this goal, several papers have been published recently in which many new species are described and some systematics issues are discussed (e.g., Hilbig 2000;Jirkov 2008Jirkov , 2011Reuscher et al 2009;Salazar−Vallejo and Hutchings 2012;Imajima et al 2012Imajima et al , 2013Schüller and Jirkov 2013).…”

Based on material collected during the BIOICE project off Iceland, the taxonomy and distribution of seventeen species (11 genera) of polychaetous annelids belonging to the family Ampharetidae (Annelida; Polychaeta) is reviewed. Eleven of these species were pre− viously reported in the area or nearby areas: Amage auricula, Anobothrus gracilis, Glyp− hanostomum pallescens, Grubianella klugei, Lysippe fragilis, L. labiata, L. sexcirrata, L. vanelli, Samythella elongata, Sosane bathyalis and S. wireni. Five species, Amage benhami, Melinnampharete eoa, Noanelia hartmanae, Ymerana pteropoda and Zatsepinia rittichae, either never or only once reported after original description, are redescribed or discussed. A potentially new species, Amage sp., is described but not named because only one specimen is present. Several body characters of high taxonomic relevance in Ampha− retidae are reviewed using SEM. The distribution of each species off Iceland is provided.

We herein present the results of a survey which assessed the benthic fauna from subtidal to continental shelf depth in the Shirahama area from 2012 to 2016. Our research resulted in the identification of 132 species from 75 families in seven phyla, Cnidaria, Annelida, Tardigrada, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Echinodermata and Chordata. This includes 24 newly recorded species to Shirahama. Two species were also new records for Japanese waters. Furthermore, six undescribed species and five potentially undescribed species were recorded. We provide a selection of relevant photos for future taxonomic studies and monitoring of environmental changes.

“…Therefore, Japan's polychaete fauna includes Arctic and sub-Arctic species as well as tropical and subtropical species. In the recent series on Ampharetidae from Japan (Imajima et al 2012(Imajima et al , 2013Reuscher et al 2015aReuscher et al , 2015b, 60% of the examined species were new to science and the number of species known from Japan more than doubled. This shows that the current knowledge of species diversity of ampharetid polychaetes from Japan is far from exhaustive and more sampling effort is needed to complete the picture.…”

“…In a recent study on Ampharetidae from Japan many new species and new records were discovered (Imajima et al 2012(Imajima et al , 2013Reuscher et al 2015aReuscher et al , 2015b. In the last publication of the series (Reuscher et al 2015b), a list of all 58 ampharetid species recorded from Japan was provided.…”

Abstract.A new polychaete species of the family Ampharetidae, Amage imajimai sp. nov., is described from deep waters of sagami Bay, Japan. It is characterized by the possession of four pairs of branchiae, twelve thoracic uncinigers, eleven abdominal uncinigers, and the lack of thoracic notopodial cirri. The new species is named in honor of the renowned Japanese polychaetologist Minoru Imajima. An identification key for all Amage species from Japanese waters is provided.
