Redescription
Scientific Name Notes -Haswell (1902) did not use the scientific name for the host of Phyllobothrium vagans and no type locality is given; Williams (1968) indicates Haswell’s material was collected in New Zealand -Haswell (1902) begins with reference to the Port Jackson shark, but proposes the name P. vagans for “the Cestracion parasite” (pg. 401).
