Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Southwell uses the name Phyllobothroides hutsoni n. sp. in 1911 (Further notes on the determination..) but describes the species formally in 1911 (Description of nine new species...) Southwell in 1925 synonymizes the genus Phyllobothroides with Linton’s genus Pedibothrium; it is not clear why Southwell then refers to this species as Pedibothrium hutsoni (Southwell, 1911), Southwell, 1924
