Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Ruhnke (2011) treated this species as Phyllobothrium crispum. The species should be referred to by its originial name, Anthobothrium crispum.Given that there is also no mention of type material, the species to which this name was applied is essentially unknown, and there for should be considered a nomen dubium. Molin referred to this species as Tetrabothrium (Anthobothrium) crispum.
