The tapeworm Ligula intestinalis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Cestoda: Diphyllobothriidea) is a widespread parasite with a three-host life cycle (Dubinina, 1980). Due to its worldwide geographical distribution and a variety of fish intermediate hosts, this tapeworm has been used as a promising model to study the vicariate and ecological modes of speciation (Bouzid et al., 2008, Gutiérrez & Hoole, 2021, Hoole et al., 2010, Štefka et al., 2009). These studies have shown that L. intestinalis is indeed a complex of morphologically indistinguishable but genetically distinct lineages (cryptic species) whose members parasitize different groups of fish intermediate hosts and occur in different zoogeographical regions (Štefka et al., 2009, Bouzid et al., 2008). However, a taxonomic revision of the group, in which individual species would be officially named, is still pending, mainly because morphological characters that could be used to delineate individual genetic lineages corresponding to separate species are lacking (Nazarizadeh et al., 2023)
