Redescription
Scientific Name Notes This name was used in a list of cestode parasites from marine fishes in Pakistan by Bilqees (1995); Bilqees & Fatima (1982) was given as the authority, however the citation given was incomplete, with a different data (as 1980); reference to this species could not be found in any other publication or database; Bilqees & Fatima (1982) could not be obtained. For nomenclatural purposes, the name does not appear to have been published and is thus a nomen nudum (i.e, unavailable).
