Type species Savigny (1822:89) includes a number of pectinariids as synonyms of Amphictene auricoma, including Pectinaria belgica, which is type of Pectinaria (as Nereis cylindraria belgica). However, he also has two other Amphictene as valid. Amphictene auricoma is prominent as the first mentioned, and is type of the genus by a subsequent designation, probably by Hartman (1941:325), not Hartman (1959) as stated in Hutchings & Peart (2002), but Hartman could also have been copying an earlier author (as is often the case for her catalogue types of genera).
