A redescription of Pintneriella Yamaguti, 1934 (Cestoda: Trypanorhyncha and an examination of its systematic position.

Abstract:

:Specimens of Pintneriella musculicola Yamaguti, 1934 are redescribed based on paratype material and specimens subsequently allocated to the species by its describer. The cestode species is characterised by two bothridia, a typical heteroacanthous armature with a distinctive basal swelling and basal armature, a space between hook files 1 and 1', nine hooks per principal row, no intercalary hooks and bands of hooklets or chainettes but a distinctive space on the external surface of the tentacle between hook files 9 and 9'. The strobilia is unknown. The features described indicate that Pintneriella is a valid genus within the Heteracanthoidea. Its currently known morphological features do not allow its allocation to an existing family.
