Type species

Amage auricula Malmgren, 1866 View in CoL .

Diagnosis (emended)

Prostomium with middle lobe surrounded by inflated lobe, lacking glandular ridges. Buccal tentacles smooth. Two to four pairs of cirriform branchiae. Segment II usually without chaetae, or exceptionally with minute chaetae. Thorax with 9–14 uncinigers. Modified or intermediate segments absent. Abdomen with rudimentary notopodia.

Remarks

The diagnosis was emended to accommodate the synonymy of the monotypic genus Egamella Fauchald, 1972 by Jirkov (2011). Egamella has only two pairs of branchiae and nine thoracic uncinigers. This synonymy needs to be confirmed by the examination of the type specimen of Egamella quadribranchiata Fauchald, 1972 .
