Abstract
The Cestoda Tetraphyllidea Pelichnibothrium speciosum Monticelli, 1889 attribued to Yamaguti (1934) was found in typical host Prionace glauca (Selachii, Carcharhinidae). This parasite is not equivalent to the species of Monticelli. We propose to name it Prionacestus bipartitus n. gen., n. sp. The persistance of larval characters in the adult can considered as the result of a neoteny.
