Bleeker, Joke, Harris, Leslie, Ten Hove, Harry A., Salazar-Vallejo, Sergio I. (2023): Pherecardites Horst, 1912 and Branchamphinome Hartman, 1967 are synonyms (Annelida, Amphinomidae, Amphinominae). Zoosystema 45 (13): 435-443, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2023v45a13
OBSERVATIONS Lectotype (ZMA V. Pol 1072.1) colorless, without posterior region, bent ventrally, breaking in two (Fig. 1 A). Body about 10 mm long, 2.5 mm wide, 30 chaetigers. Prostomium (Fig. 1 B) slightly eroded, left lateral antenna lost, right one present, inserted close to median antennal base. Median antenna thick, bent laterally, without tip. 2 / 3 as long as caruncle. Palps lost. Eyes not seen. Caruncle straight, with a median ridge and 4 digitate lateral lobes, directed posteriorly. Branchiae from chaetiger 1 lost; chaetiger 2 with 2 digitate filaments, in anterior chaetigers branchiae with about 5 filaments. Pharynx not exposed (Fig. 1 C). Posterior end lost; pygidial features unknown.

REMARKS Horst (1912: 33) did not see eyes in his specimens (longest one slightly more than 7 mm in length) but noted some black spots. Kudenov (1993: 96 - 97) noted in P. antarctica (Hartman, 1967) n. comb., specimens of different size (8 - 12 mm long) had eyes well developed and their pigments were retained despite being in ethanol for over 30 years, whereas in P. parva eyes were not seen. Horst (1912: 33) characterized the caruncle in the diagnosis for Pherecardites, and in the description of P. parva, as having a median ridge and lateral lamellae, directed posteriorly, extended along three segments. Branchiae were noted as starting in chaetiger 1 but the number of filaments was not given. Likewise, the presence of branchiae along posterior chaetigers was not indicated, nor the shape of the posterior end.
