The family is subdivided into 2 subfamilies: Armaueriinae with genus Armaueria and PROARMAUERIINAE subfam. n. with genera Proarmaueria, NEOARMAUERIA gen. n., PROARMAUERIELLA gen. n., XENOARMAUERIA gen. n., ZINARMAUERIA gen. n. The generic name Mesoarmaueria Korotkevitsch, 1955 is synonymized with Proarmaueria Coe, 1926; Proarmaeuria korotkevitschae nom. n. is proposed to substitute preoccupied Mesarmaueria pellucida Korotkevitsch, 1955. ZINARMAUERIA platonovae gen. et. sp. n. is described from Okhotosk Sea; holotyope is the property of the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (St.-Petersburg). The origin of Aramaueriidae from primitive Nectonemertidae is suggested. (The following taxa are discussed: Neoarmaueria tenuicauda (Korotkevitsch, 1955) comb. nov.
