Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Van Beneden (1850; cit 470; pg. 279) was first to use the name A. leuckaerti but he presented no diagnosis or figures and thus this is a nomen nudum. Later that year he (1850; cit 472; pg. 141) presented a complete description and figures of this species but as Calliobothrium leuckartii. The second “i” was formally dropped by Nasin, Caira & Euzet (1997).
