Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Scholz et al. (2011) synonymised the species with K. rossittensis. Schmidt (1986) reported Yamaguti (1959) to be the first to place B. dubius to Khawia but Markevich (1951) synonymised Bothrioscolex, which implied transfer of its species to Khawia; Fotedar (1958) first explicitly listed K. dubia
