Redescription
Scientific Name Notes van Beneden (1849; cit 470; pg. 277) was first to use the name Echeneibothrium but no diagnosis or figures were presented. Later that year, Van Beneden (1850; cit 472; pg. 113) presented a complete diagnosis of this genus. We consider cit 472 to be the first valid use of this name. Determined to be a genus of the Rhinebothriidea by Healy et al (2009) and Ruhnke (2011).
