Subfamily Hesioninae Grube, 1850 View in CoL

Summers et al. (2015) modified the status of the subfamilies and tribes in Hesionidae and concluded that Hesioninae includes only the tribe Hesionini , but because there are no other tribe within the subfamily, Hesionini becomes redundant. Pleijel (1998: 107) diagnosed the Hesionini with 21 segments, body short, stout, cuticle with metallic lustre, nuchal organs coalescent, posterior prostomial incision distinct, aciculae blackish, neuropodial lobes rectangular, neurochaetae bidentate; and pharynx without papillae. Pleijel (1998) included five genera: Dalhousiella McIntosh, 1901 (see Salazar-Vallejo & Rizzo 2020), Hesione Savigny in Lamarck, 1818 , Leocrates Kinberg, 1866 , Leocratides Ehlers, 1908 and Wesenbergia Hartman, 1955 ; the latter has been replaced by Elisesione Salazar- Vallejo, 2016. After the reinstatement of Lamprophaea Grube, 1867 (spelling modified, see below), and Dalhousia McIntosh, 1885 and by regarding the other morphological patterns, the tribe would include 7 genera, plus three newly proposed genera. They can be separated with the following key.
