Taxonomy of eight ampharetids of the tribe Amagini is discussed on the basis of huge museum collections of Moscow and St-Petersburg (more than 2000 specimens from about 250 samples). It is shown that species of monotypic genera
Neopaiwa,
Paiwa, and
Weddelia are junior synonyms of
Samythopsis grubei.
Mexamage and
Paramage are junior synonyms of
Amage. Thus, the tribe includes genera
Amage,
Grubianella, and
Samythopsis.
Amage levensteinae sp.n.,
Amage clemi sp.n., and
Amage ceshici sp.n. from the abyssal depths are described.
Amage asiatica,
Grubianella klugei and
Samythopsis grubei are redescribed based on the type material.
