Abstract The onchobothriid Triloculatum n. gen. is erected to house species formerly considered members of Phoreiobothrium, but that bear 3, rather than 5 or more, bothridial subloculi. The species formerly known as Phoreiobothrium triloculatum is designated as its type. This species is redescribed based on 2 syntypes and on voucher material consistent with type material taken from the type host, Carcharhinus obscurus, from the type and 1 additional locality. Examination of the cestode fauna of…

Two New Cestode Species of Phoreiobothrium (Onchoproteocephalidea) from Two Carcharhinid Sharks of the Persian Gulf, with the First Report of Variation in Distribution of Vitelline Follicles of the Genus

For the first time a variation in distribution of the vitelline follicles is reported for Phoreiobothrium in this paper, increasing the number of members of the genus in the Iranian coastal waters from three to five.

Two new species of Scalithrium (Cestoda: Rhinebothriidea) from rajiform batoids of the Argentine Sea.

Some morphological traits may not be considered as key characters for the generic diagnosis of Scalithrium due to their variability within the genus, although the musculature disposition in bothridial transverse septa and position of the entrance of the vas deferens into the cirrus sac certainly complement other diagnostic characters at a specific level.

Staphylorchis cymatodes (Gorgoderidae: Anaporrhutinae) from carcharhiniform, orectolobiform and myliobatiform elasmobranchs of Australasia: low host specificity, wide distribution and morphological plasticity.

Cestodes of the blue shark, Prionace glauca (Linnaeus 1758), (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae), off the west coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico.

The cestode species recovered from the spiral intestines of 27 blue sharks (Prionace glauca) are reported from the western coast of Baja California Sur (BCS) and this richness is low compared with other species of sharks within the same family.

A Digest of Elasmobranch Tapeworms

The tapeworms of elasmobranchs and their hosts are now among the most well documented host-parasite systems in existence, but this system has not yet reached its potential as a resource for investigations of basic ecological and evolutionary principles.

An estimation of global elasmobranch tapeworm diversity is now within the authors' grasp, as is a basic understanding of the effort and resources required to complete the discovery and description of this fauna globally.

A new combination and a new species of onchobothriid tapeworm (Cestoda: Tetraphyllidea: Onchobothriidae) from triakid sharks

A new combination and a new species of onchobothriid tapeworm are described from triakid sharks and Platybothrium xiamenensis is transferred to the genus Erudituncus Healy, Scholz & Caira, 2001.

A REVISION OF PHOREIOBOTHRIUM (TETRAPHYLLIDEA: ONCHOBOTHRIIDAE) WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF FIVE NEW SPECIES

Five new species of Phoreiobothrium (Cestoda: Tetraphyllidea) are described from carcharhiniform sharks collected from a diversity of localities throughout the world, and data suggest that the proglottid information provided in the original description may have come from a tapeworm species other than P. tiburonis.

A new species of Phoreiobothrium (Cestoidea:Tetraphyllidea) from the great hammerhead shark Sphyrna mokarran and its implications for the evolution of the onchobothriid scolex.

Data from the spiral intestines of 3 immature individuals of the great hammerhead shark Sphyrna mokarran suggest that the triloculated bothridial condition is plesiomorphic relative to the biloculated condition.

An emendation of the generic diagnosis of Phoreiobothrium Linton, 1889 (Tetraphyllidea: Onchobothriidae) with a detailed description of bothridia and hooks

Examination of material of all four species of Phoreiobothrium leads to the conclusion that each species possesses three-pronged hooks that are hollow and open to the outside via pores.

Both new species can be distinguished from all others by the number and arrangement of bothridial loculi, position of the genital pore, and testes number and distribution.

Sharks of the Order Carcharhiniformes

This work is one of the most comprehensive modern anatomical and phylogenetic studies on cartilaginous fishes available and will become an essential reference not only for researchers on carcharhinoids but also for those who study other families of sharks and for paleontologists interested in this ancient group of fishes.
