Extract

Aplopabaksis filum (Goeze, 1782), A. clerci Yamaguti, 1935, and A. brachyphallos (Krabbe, 1869) are closely related species that are distinguishable mainly on anatomical characters, their scolex structures being remarkably uniform both in size and form. This opportunity is taken of defining the main diagnostic characters of the three species from an investigation of material collected in the Aberystwyth area of Wales.
