Authority Aguirrezabalaga & Parapar (2014) stated that they "follow Salazar-Vallejo & Hutchings (2012) who propose Malmgren (1866) instead of Chamberlin (1919) as the author of this subfamily." However, this assertion seems inexplicable as both of the claims are incorrect. Malmgren is the author of Ampharetinae by the principle of coordination, but Malmgren (1866) did not erect Melinninae, and the Salazar-Vallejo & Hutchings article correctly attributes Melinninae to Chamberlin, 1919. [details]Classification Formerly a subfamily in Ampharetidae. Chamberlin (1919: 443) in a key, without indicating it was a new subfamily, was the first to use Melinna as basis for a Melinninae subfamily. He included also Oeorpata Kinberg, Moyanus new genus for M explorans n.sp, and Isolda Muller. Of those only genera Isolda & Melinna are in current use. Melinninae has been used since (eg Day, 1964: 106). Stiller et al. (2020), based on extensive molecular data (4 Melinna species, 2 Isolda species, have separated Melinninae from Ampharetidae, and raised its rank to family-level. [details] |
