Abstract

Corynosoma, as a valid generic concept, was first recognized by Max Luehe in 1904. Prior to that date the early species of ACANTHOCEPHALA, later recognized as belonging to this genus, were assigned to the all inclusive assemblage which went under the name Echinorhynchus. Both birds and mammals have been recorded as definitive hosts of the various species of Corynosoma. Several species have been listed from both of these host groups but there is a growing body of evidence which indicates that each species is restricted, biologically, to either birds or mammals as normal definitive hosts.
