Extract

1. Echinobothrium acanthinophyllum sp.nov. occurs in the spiral valve of Raja montagui Fowler. E. affine Diesing was also present.

2. E. acanthinophyllum possesses 23 large hooks in each apical group flanked by 4 small hooks on either side. There are 13 spines in each of the 8 longitudinal rows on the cephalic peduncle and 13 testes in each proglottid. The ripe eggs aggregate into clusters of 8–10, which fill the gravid uterus.

3. Euzet's key is revised to include the 9 species of the genus.
