Host Notes MacCallum did not designate a type host, but states "...while working at the United States Fish Commission Laboratory at Wood's Hole a large sting ray Dasybatus pastinacus fell to my share, and, while examining the contents of the spiral valve, I found among the denizens of that interesting structure, four cestodes which were unknown to me...and proved to be Synbothria of a new species." (MacCallum, 1916, pg. 7). See redescription in Campbell & Beveridge (1996) for list of additional hosts.
