Publication
Plicobothrium globicephalae gen. et sp. nov., described from the pilot whale, Globicephala melaena Traill, from Trinity Bay, Newfoundland (eastern Canada), is distinguished by complex folding of the modified bothria of the scolex in combination with other morphological characteristics. Of diphyllobothriid cestodes occurring in marine mammals, those of the monotypic genera Pyramicocephalus Monticelli, 1890, and Baylisiella Markowski, 1952, have modified scolices, but of a different type. P. globicephalae gen. et sp. nov. is further distinguished from these by characteristics of the strobila, arrangement of excretory ducts, and other morphological differences. The taxonomic status of other diphyllobothriid cestodes in marine mammals is briefly discussed
