This paper presents a redescription of the proteocephalidean cestode Proteocephalus sagittus (Grimm, 1872) based on freshly collected specimens from the type-host, the stone loach Barbatula barbatula (L.) (family Balitoridae), from the Czech Republic. This species has recently been synonymised with P. torulosus (Batsch, 1786), a parasite of cyprinid fishes in the Holarctic Region, but it differs in the following characters: (i) scolex morphology, (ii) position of the vagina, (iii) length of the cirrus-sac, (iv) osmoregulatory canals, and (v) sequences of the partial 18S rRNA. P. pamirensis Dzhalilov et Ashurova, 1971 is synonymised with P. sagittus.
