Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Van Beneden (1849; cit 470; pg. 278) was first to use the name Anthobothrium but no diagnosis was presented. Later that year, Van Beneden (1850; cit 472; pg. 124) presented a complete description of this genus. We consider cit 472 to be the first valid use of this name. Ruhnke (2011) noted that this genus was incertae sedis with respect to the Phyllobothriidae.
