The cestode fauna of the darkspotted numbfish, Narcine maculata (Shaw) (Torpediniformes: Narcinidae), from Malaysian Bomrneo was examined for the first time. This work resulted in the discovery of a new genus and two new species of Anteroporidae (Lecanicephalidea). Sesquipedalapex comicus gen. n., sp. n. was erected on the basis of the peculiarities of its scolex, in particular its possession of an extremely long apical modification of the scolex proper, which readily distinguishes it from the…

A New Genus and Species of Cestode (Rhinebothriidea) from Mobula kuhlii (Rajiformes: Mobulidae) from Malaysian Borneo
TLDR
The cestode fauna of the shortfin devilray, Mobula kuhlii was examined for the first time and resulted in the discovery of a new genus and species of rhinebothriidean tapeworm, characterized in part by its possession of stalked, elongate bothridia lacking lateral constrictions.
A new genus with two new species of lecanicephalidean tapeworms (Cestoda) from the mangrove whipray, Urogymnus granulatus (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae),from the Solomon Islands and northern Australia.
A new lecanicephalidean genus is erected for cestodes previously recognised as "New Genus 12" (Polypocephalidae) in a phylogenetic analysis of the interrelationship of members of this order.…
Seussapex, a new genus of lecanicephalidean tapeworm (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda) from the stingray genus Himantura (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae) in the Indo-West Pacific with investigation of mode of attachment.
TLDR
Histological sections of scoleces stained using the periodic acid-Schiff(PAS) reaction showed the surface of the anterior part of the apical organ and the anterior glandular compartment to stain PAS positive, suggesting a chemical mode of attachment to the host's intestinal mucosal surface.
A revision of Hexacanalis Perrenoud, 1931 (Cestoda: Lecanicephalidea) and description of H. folifer n. sp. from the zonetail butterfly ray Gymnura zonura (Bleeker) (Rajiformes: Gymnuridae)
TLDR
The presence of six excretory vessels, confirmed in both species, supports the validity of Hexacanalis and appears to parasitise species of the Gymnuridae van Hasselt; however, specific identifications of the hosts are in need of re-evaluation.
A new genus and two new species of lecanicephalidean tapeworms from the striped panray, Zanobatus schoenleinii (Rhinopristiformes: Zanobatidae), off Senegal.
Recognised for their diversity in apical structure morphology, members of the cestode order Lecanicephalidea Wardle et McLeod, 1952 known to date exhibit relatively mundane and uniform acetabular…
Floriparicapitus, a New Genus of Lecanicephalidean Tapeworm (Cestoda) from Sawfishes (Pristidae) and Guitarfishes (Rhinobatidae) in the Indo-West Pacific

Stoibocephalum n. gen. (Cestoda: Lecanicephalidea) from the sharkray, Rhina ancylostoma Bloch & Schneider (Elasmobranchii: Rhinopristiformes), from northern Australia.
A new genus and species of lecanicephalidean cestode, Stoibocephalum arafurense n. gen., n. sp., is described from the sharkray, Rhina ancylostoma Bloch & Schneider, off northern Australia.…
First Report of Lecanicephalidean Tapeworms (Eucestoda) from Freshwater, Including Description of Three New Species of Tetragonocephalum Shipley and Hornell, 1905
TLDR
3 new species of Tetragonocephalum are found parasitizing the spiral intestine of the endangered giant freshwater whipray, Urogymnus polylepis (Bleeker), which is the first account of lecanicephalideans reported from freshwater.
Three New Genera and Six New Species of Lecanicephalideans (Cestoda) from Eagle Rays of the Genus Aetomylaeus (Myliobatiformes: Myliobatidae) from Northern Australia and Borneo
TLDR
New lecanicephalidean cestodes inhabiting the spiral intestine were investigated in 4 of the 6 known species of eagle rays of the genus Aetomylaeus Garman, establishing species of AetOMylaeus as hosts of lecan icephalideans.
An enigmatic new tapeworm, Litobothrium aenigmaticum, sp. nov. (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda: Litobothriidea), from the pelagic thresher shark with comments on development of known Litobothrium species
TLDR
Developmental data show typical litobothriideans bear basic elements of their adult scolex upon entering the definitive host, undermining the notion that the new cestode represents a distinct litobothsriidean life cycle stage, and justify establishment of Litobothrium aenigmaticum.

  • 2001
TLDR
A total of 53 spiral intestines from 3 species of rays collected in the Gulf of California, Baja, Mexico, was examined for cestodes of the order Lecanicephalidea, finding four new genera and 5 new species, including Aberrapex n.

TLDR
The discovery of 3 new species of Acanthobothrium were found in the spiral intestines of 12 female specimens of the ocellated electric ray Diplobatis ommata from 4 sites in the Gulf of California, Mexico, in 1996, bringing the number of species reported from rays in the order Torpediformes to 12.

An Extremely Hyperapolytic Acanthobothrium Species (Cestoda: Tetraphyllidea) from the Japanese Wobbegong, Orectolobus japonicus (Elasmobranchii: Orectolobiformes) in Taiwan
TLDR
It appears that the reproductive strategy of extremely hyperapolytic tetraphyllidean species is distinct from that seen in the more traditional hyperapoletic species in which adult worms bear terminal proglottids containing all elements of both the male and female reproductive systems.
A SEM Study of the Cestodes Trilocularia acanthiaevulgaris, Phyllobothrium squMi and Gilquinia squMi from the Spiny Dogfish
TLDR
The surface topography of three cestode parasites from the gut of Squalus acanthias is described with the aid of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the possibilities of these microtopographical features being used in a sensory and/or attachment role are considered.

TLDR
Seven new species of tetraphyllidean cestodes from the genus Yorkeria are found, bringing the total number of Yorkeria species described worldwide to 12 and raising questions about the conspecificity of bamboo shark specimens identified as C. punctatum in Thailand, Borneo, and Australia.
THE MOLECULAR SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS OF CESTODES OF MARINE FISHES IN TAIWAN STRAIT
TLDR
The results showed that the current taxonomic classification of the orders of Diphyllidea, Trypanorhyncha, PseudophyllideA, Lecanicephalidea and Tetraphyllidea is appropriate and that the morphologic structure of the cestode scolex becomes more and more complicated in the evolution.
On the phylogenetic relationships among tetraphyllidean, lecanicephalidean and diphyllidean tapeworm genera
TLDR
The tetraphyllideans, lecanicephalideans and proteocephalideans are more closely related to each other than they are to the diphyllideans or the trypanorhynchs, and some aspects of the classification of the lecanICEphalidean and tet graphyllidean taxa require revision.
