AB  - <i>Chauvinelia</i> contains two abyssal species, <i>C. biscayensis</i>, and <i>C. arctica</i>. Because of the lack of some relevant details in the original descriptions, they are redescribed, the generic diagnosis is emended, and a key to separate them is included. <i>Flabelliseta incrusta</i> and <i>Helmetophorus rankini</i>, the type and only species for these genera are redescribed; they lack annulated or multi-articulated capillaries, their chaetae have a detachable cortex carrying successive rows of tiny spines, and they share several features with <i>Chauvinelia</i>. Therefore <i>Flabelliseta</i>, and <i>Helmetophorus</i>, currently regarded as members of Flabelligeridae de Saint-Joseph, 1894, are transferred to the Acrocirridae Banse, 1969. Consequently the family diagnosis is emended to include simple capillary neurochaetae, and a key for all acrocirrid genera is also included.
