Abstract:
A new species of the ampharetid genus Amphicteis, A. chinensis sp. nov., is described based on material from the East and South China Seas. The new species is distinguished from the other known species of this genus by the presence of a lobebehind the paleae. A key to distinguish all Amphicteis species and the closely related genus Paramphicteis from the Chinese seas is provided.
Key words:    new species|Amphicteis|Paramphicteis|Ampharetidae|Polychaeta
