Scientific Name Notes van Beneden described the discovery of this species in a 1868 communiquée, but did not use the name Phyllobothrium delphini until 1870. The larval name Hydatis delphini Bosc, 1802 was originally used for this species. As Hydatis is a larval genus name, P. delphini has been retained for use in referring to this species.
