Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Ruhnke (1994b) considered Anthocephalum to be valid and mistakenly used the name Anthocephalum centrurum (Southwell, 1925) Ruhnke, 1994 rather than Anthocephalum gracile Linton 1890 for the type species when he resurrected the genus. The name Anthocephalum gracile should apply to the species described by Linton (1890) as the type species of Anthocephalum. Phyllobothrium centrurum Southwell, 1925 and Anthocephalum centrurum (Southwel l, 1925) Ruhnke,1994 are synonyms of Anthocep halum gracileLinton 1890 (see Ruhnke, 2011).
