Abstract
In this paper, the material of the genus Ampharete Malmgren, 1866 from China Seas (Annelida:Ampharetidae) deposited in the collections of the Marine Biological Museum of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (MBMCAS) is reviewed and previous identifications reassessed. In total, four species were found among all specimens examined. Material previously attributed to A. acutifrons ( Grube, 1860 ) and A. arctica Malmgren, 1866 had been misidentified and is now confirmed as belonging to A. lindstroemi Hessle, 1917 and A. finmarchica ( Sars, 1865 ), respectively; the presence of A. falcata Eliason, 1955 is also confirmed; A. orientalis ( Annenkova, 1929 ) is recorded for the first time from China.
