Redescription
Scientific Name Notes This species appears to be a lecanicephalidean, likely in the genus Polypocephalus. Given that the description lacks detail used to distinguish among species of Polypocephalus and that the host species for A. globocephala will remain forever unknown, the species is considered to be a species inquirenda.
