Abstract

A study has been made of the tetraphyllidean cestodes inhabiting the spiral valve of Rhinobatos productus (Ayres) and Holorhinus californicus (Gill). The present paper includes only the species of Acanthobothrium van Beneden, 1850, occurring in these hosts in Southern California waters. Rhinobatos productus was found to harbor two species, and Holorhinus californicus, three species of Acanthobothrium. All of these cestodes seem to represent species previously unknown to science.
