Species armatus
Subspecies
Additional Host(s) Bathyraja richardsoni (definitive host); Coryphaenoides armatus, Coryphaenoides carapinus, Coryphaenoides leptolepis (intermediate hosts) (as reported by Campbell, 1977)
Site in Host mesentery
Host Notes Additional hosts as per Beveridge & Campbell 2012): Trachyrincus murrayi, Coelorhynchus fasciatus, Coryphaenoides brevibarbis. Campbell (1977) did not formally specify a type host in his original description of Grillotia (Paragrillotia) rowei Campbell, 1977; however, the specimen he identifies at the holotype came from the intermediate host Coryphaenoides armatus (as reported in Beveridge & Campbell [2012]) and thus that is here considered the type host.

Specimens

Type Material "Holotype and Paratypes: USNM Helm. Coll. Nos. 74487 and 74488" (Campbell, 1977)
Total Number of Type Specimens 1 holotype, 4 paratypes (as reported in Beveridge & Campbell [2012])
Voucher Material "Measurements based on 10 plerocerci and 1 immature adult" (Campbell, 1977)
Specimen Notes Beveridge & Campbell (2012) list BMNH 2011.10.10.1-3, an immature adult from Bathyraja richardsoni, as a paratype in their report of type material examined. This specimen was not, however, designated as a paratype by Campbell (1977). Additional material examined by Beveridge & Campbell (2012): BMNH 1992.3.24.1-2 (2 plerocerci from T. murrayi); BMNH 1992.6.25.81 (1 plerocercus from C. fasciatus); BMNH 2003.6.5.2-3 (2 plerocerci from C. brevibarbis)
