Redescription
Scientific Name Notes no figures in Rudolphi’s original description (1819); description is on pg. 483. de Beauchamp (1905; pg. 46) noting the confusion surrounding the identity of Rudolphi's (1819) concept of B. uncinatus, declared it a Nomen mutatum (i.e., because it was based on a monstrosity) and suggested "Onchobothrium pseudo-uncinatum" as a replacement name.
