Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Zschokke (1888) may have been the first to use the combination C. uncinatum. But, his illustrations suggest he was looking at a species of Acanthobothrium. de Blaineville (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 "pseudo-uncinatum" as a replacement name.
