Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Van Beneden (1849; cit. 471 pg. 191) used this name without reference to Blanchard's (1848; cit 4637 pg. 364, Fig. 9) earlier work. We consider Acanthobothrium Van Beneden, 1849 (with B. bifurcatus as its type) to be a homonym of Acanthobothrium Blanchard, 1848 (with A. coronatum as its type).
