Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Wagener (1854) originally described anatomical featrues of a Tetrabothrium from Carcharias rondoletii; Wagener includes 8 figures of what clearly represents several distinct species, a Prosobothrium?, a Platybothrium? and a Phoreiobothrium?; but Wagener did not use the name Tetrabothrium carchariae rondoletii. Diesing (1863) used the name Cylindrophorus typicus for “Tetrabothrium carchariae rondoletii Wagener”; as far as we know this was the first use of the name Tetrabothrium carcharias rondoletii. Southwell (1925) in the caption to his figure 78, in which he reproduces Wagener’s figures 266-271 uses the name “Tetrabothrium rondolettii”
