Averintsev as  A. kerguelensis—non NHM 1936.2.8.2661–2663, South Georgia(4).  DESCRIPTION. Up to 33 mmlong. The middle lobe of the prostomium obtusely rounded. Eye spots on the prostomium absent. Buccal tentacles pinnate. Paleal chaetae ( Fig. 18D) about 5–12 on each side light yellow about the same length, but much thicker than the most developed notochaeta, directed forward reach the level of the anterior edge of the middle lobe of the prostomium or, at least, extend beyond its posterior edge. The places of attachment of the three branchophores in each group form an almost straight row, the fourth is located at the back between the inner and middle, this branchophore is clearly associated with the TC2 notopodia. The gap between groups of branchophores varies from almost absent to approximately equal to the diameter of the branchophore. Branchostyles of the usual structure for the family: smooth, irregularly transversely wrinkled; bent back, they reach 7–8 TC. At the inner corners of the bases of the inner pair of branchophores there are small nephridial papillae ( Fig. 18A), the same papillae present behind the notopodia TC3. 14 TC, 12 TU. 13 AU. Rudimentary notopodia small, neuropodial cirri absent. Neuropodia of the thorax, AU1 and AU2 tori, the rest — pinnuli. Pygidium with two long lateral cirri and more or less pronounced numerous low papillae. Uncini ( Fig. 19) generally similar: TU1 uncini with 5 teeth in two rows, AU13 uncini with two rows near the prow and three at the top, 5–6 teeth in profile. The tube unknown.   REMARK. The AU number is not specified in the original description. Monro (1936)and Hartmann(1966) consider it to be characterized by the presence of 12 AU.  Thestudied synthypes are two fragments. McIntoshcut off the front part of the larger specimen for the drawing, which was subsequently lost and only the last 5 TCand the abdomen consisting of 13 AU were preserved. Thesmaller specimen lacks the end of the abdomen. Specimens Monro (1939)and ZIN 2/16252 were also collected near Kerguelen Islandand can be considered topotypes. Theirpaleal chaetae are identical to the syntype. Theabdomen was preserved only in 4 specimenof Monro and 1 specimenof ZIN. All of them had 13 AU. UNLIKELY REPORTS.  Ampharete kerguelensissensu Monro (1936), Hartman (1966)and Day (1967)have 12 AU and thus refer to a different species. Hartman (1967) did not give description, but as Hartman (1966)is present in synonymy and due great depth ( 2119–2727 m) highly likely refer to a different species. Specimens NHM 1936.2.8.2661– 2663 are  Ampharetesp.as they have 12AU.  RANGE. Because the species has been identified incorrectly too often, for sure it is known from lower sublittoral of Kerguelen Isl. only. 5283817304 -48.75 69.23333 15 16 5283817317 -49.833332 69.55 16 17 5283817335 -49.645 70.72833 16 17 5283817330 [718,915,805,827] AU The 16 17 1 5283817318 AU Hartmann 16 17 1 5283817312 TC The McIntosh 16 17 1
