Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Appy & Dailey give type specimen deposition numbers as “Holotype USNM Helm. Coll. No. 45976, referred specimen 74598”; these numbers confict with the type deposition number of Youg (1954) for Echeneibothrium multorchidum. May be a species of Rhinebothirum? Appy & Dailey (1977) appear to have used a different species for their resdescription of C. multorchidum (Young, 1954) Appy & Dailey, 1977.
