Amphicteinae is a subfamily of polychaete worms in the family Ampharetidae.[1][2] It was originally established as a tribe, with eight genera, but was elevated to subfamily-level with a reduced number of genera in 2020. [2][3] Two species, Hypaniola kowatewskii and Hypania invalida, are known to feed on blue-green algae.[4]
Genera[edit]
The subfamily comprises the following genera:[1]
- Hobsonia Banse, 1979
- Hypania Ostroumoff, 1897
- Hypaniola Annenkova, 1927
- Noanelia Desbruyeres & Laubier, 1977
