Redescription
Scientific Name Notes The synonym "Rhynchobothrium sp. of Linton" is variously cited as Linton (1908) or Linton (1909). Palm (2004) cites it as Linton (1909) in the description of Zygorhynchus ginglymostomatis, but Linton (1908) is the correct citation (see Linton [1908], citation #277, pg. 182).
