The taxonomic status of Spirometra Faust, Campbell et Kellogg, 1929 (Cestoidea: Diphyllobothriidae)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2009
Abstract
The taxonomic histories of Spirometra and Lueheella are reviewed, and the former is shown to be a junior synonym of the latter. Gatesius probably has priority over both. It is suggested that the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature be petitioned to exert their Plenary Powers to validate Spirometra and invalidate Lueheella and Gatesius.
