Species armatus
Subspecies
Additional Host(s) Bathyraja richardsoni (definitive host); Coryphaenoides armatus, Coryphaenoides carapinus, Coryphaenoides leptolepis (intermediate hosts) (as reported by Campbell, 1977)
Site in Host mesentery
Host Notes Additional hosts as per Beveridge & Campbell 2012): Trachyrincus murrayi, Coelorhynchus fasciatus, Coryphaenoides brevibarbis. Campbell (1977) did not formally specify a type host in his original description of Grillotia (Paragrillotia) rowei Campbell, 1977; however, the specimen he identifies at the holotype came from the intermediate host Coryphaenoides armatus (as reported in Beveridge & Campbell [2012]) and thus that is here considered the type host.
