Abstract

Several specimens of Phyllobothrium dohrnii (Oerley) were obtained from the intestine of Hexanchus griseus caught in the deep-sea fishing grounds on the Porcupine Bank to the west of Ireland. The species was first described by Oerley in 1885. Since then, several cestodes which are probably synonymous with this species, have been described by various writers. They are Crossobothrium laciniatum Linton (1889) from Odontaspis littoralis (the sand shark) at Wood's Hole, Mass., Crossobothrium campanulatum Klaptocz (1906) from Hexanchus griseus in the Gulf of Trieste, and Orygmatobothrium velamentum Yoshida (1917) from Cynias manazo (the bleeker) of Hiroshima, Japan.
