Summary

Ichthybothrium ichthybori gen. et sp. nov. (Pseudophyllidea : Ptychobothriidae) is described and figured from specimens collected from the intestine of the African freshwater fish Ichthyborus besse from the White Nile near Khartoum, Sudan. Ichthybothrium and Ptychobothrium show some similarities but can be differentiated by the shape of the scolex and the position of the vitelline follicles. Ptychobothrium cypseluri Rao, 1957 and Plicatobothrium cypseluri Cable and Michaelis, 1967 are congeneric and a new name Plicatobothrium raoi is proposed for the former.
