Abstract
A new species of Eubothrium is described from northern squawfish from lakes in northern British Columbia. Morphologically, Eubothrium tulipai differs from other Eubothrium species in the shapes of the scolex, ovary, and cirrus sac. The new species differs from E. rugosum and E. salvelini, the two other freshwater species located in the Fraser drainage system, in the protuberant, powerful bothria, small, round apical disk, and constricted cirrus sac. Biologically it differs further from the two species in parasitizing a cyprinid host and is probably specific to cyprinid fish in British Columbia.
