Scientific Name Notes Cooper (1918) refers to B. sturionis as the type species for Bothrimonus. Kuchta et al. (2014) confirmed validity of the genus. They also reviewed the whole order, assessed the phylogenetic relationships of all genera and provided a survey of all valid species with new data on egg and scolex morphology and surface ultrastructure (i.e. microtriches).
