My 2c
I've tidied these up in WoRMS along the lines suggested (thanks to the contributors).
I've also worked through some of the other Aricidea sensu lato. With a few more to go ...
Note that WoRMS can't show updated subgeneric combinations for all Aricidea unless someone has used them in print first.
One hopes nowhere else in Polychaeta has so much futile subgeneric back and forth confusion and basic misidentification gone on.
