Extract

A description is given of the external features of the scolex and strobila and the anatomy of the proglottid of Acanthobothrium pearsoni sp.nov. found in the intestine of Orectolobus maculatus Bon. In view of the similarity in host distribution and anatomy to that of Biporophyllaeus madrassensis Subramanian some comments are made on the status of the order Biporophyllaeidea and it is suggested that B. madrassensis may be a proglottid of a species of Acanthobothrium.
