Scientific Name Notes the first use of this specific name was by Van Beneden (1850) in the genus Acanthobothrium but was not accompanied by a description and thus is a nomen nudum in the text of Van Beneden (1850) he makes no reference to this name but uses the name Calliobothrium leuckaertii “leuckaertii” is the spelling Van Beneden (1850) uses for the specific name to honor Leuckart. He apparently misspelled “Leuckaert”; the correct spelling should be “leuckartii” the second “i” was formally dropped by Nasin, Caira & Euzet (1997)
