Anotace
The order Proteocephalidea includes almost 400 species of tapeworm parasites (Cestoda) of fish, amphibians, and reptiles, with one species recently found in a mammal (the black-eared opossum in Mexico). Presumably, a narrow host specificity of species parasitic in siluriform fish in the Neotropical region, would make the proteocephalideans a suitable model for studies of parasite-host co-evolution. However, the systematics of the order and the phylogenetic relationships of individual genera and subfamilies are insufficiently known. It is now obvious from molecular data that the most abundant genera, such as Proteocephalus and Ophiotaenia, are artificial assemblages of unrelated taxa. The information about the life-cycles of proteocephalideans is also scarce, with the most data related to the development of the species of Proteocephalus and Ophiotaenia from freshwater fish and reptiles in the Holarctic region.
