Scientific Name Notes Zschokke (1888) redescribed Onchobothrium uncinatum using the name "Onchobothrium (Calliobothrium) uncinatum", however, it appears his material was actually of 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.
