AB  - Based on material collected during the BIOICE project off Iceland, four species of polychaetous annelids belonging to the genus <i>Amphicteis</i> Grube, 1850 (Polychaeta: Ampharetidae) were found: <i>Amphicteis gunneri</i>, <i>Amphicteis ninonae</i>, <i>Amphicteis vestis</i> and <i>Amphicteis wesenbergae</i> sp. nov. The differences between <i>A. gunneri</i> and <i>A. ninonae</i>, two species usually confused in the literature, are reviewed. <i>Amphicteis vestis</i> is described from newly collected material and its taxonomy in relation to other ampharetid taxa with modified notopodia is discussed. <i>Amphicteis wesenbergae</i> sp. nov. is described; the new species is characterized by the presence of long, slender and evenly tapered paleae, and long dorsal cirri on thoracic and abdominal neuropodia. Several body characters with high value in <i>Amphicteis</i> taxonomy, particularly the dorsolateral protrusions of abdominal chaetigers called rudimentary notopodia, are reviewed using scanning electron microscopy. A key to species of the genus <i>Amphicteis</i> described or reported in European Boreo-Arctic waters is provided.
