Redescription
Scientific Name Notes While Goldstein (1967) lists Taenia dysbiotos as a species inquirenda in his monograph on Acanthobothrium, he does not appear to create the new combination; similarly, Goldstein (1969) lists Taenia dysbiotos among species of Acanthobothrium; but it appears to have been Williams (1969) who used this combination for the first time, however he did not indicate this with the use of "n. comb." (KJ, 2010)
