Redescription
Scientific Name Notes When Beveridge & Campbell (1998) moved Tetrarhynchus aetobatidis Shipley & Hornell, 1906 to the genus Shirleyrhynchus as Shirleyrhynchus aetobatidis (Shipley & Hornell, 1906) Beveridge & Campbell, 1998, they synonymized S. aetobatidis and Shirleyrhynchus butlerae Beveridge & Campbell (1988), briefly making S. butlerae and junior synonym of S. aetobatidis. However, Schaeffner (2016) resurrected S. butlerae from synonomy. Revised line drawings of the tentacular armature of S. aetobatidis are given in Schaeffner (2016). Herzog & Jensen (2002) then synonymized Shirleyrhynchus with Rhinoptericola, creating the new combination R. aetobatidis.

Host Notes Shipley & Hornell do not designate a type host between the two reported (i.e., A. narinari and T. walga), but A. narinari is listed first. Southwell (1929) uses the name "Stoasodon narinari" to refer to the type host of this species when he moves it to the genus "Tentacularia".
