The ultrastructure of the tegument of Paraechinophallus japonicus (Pseudophyllidea: Echinophallidae), a cestode parasite of the bathypelagic fish Psenopsis anomala, which lacks a true scolex, was studied using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Four different types of microtriches have been observed, including tusk-shaped microtriches which may represent an autapomorphy of echinophallid cestodes, all of them being parasitic in centrolophid fish.

Pomocí transmisní a skanovací elektronové mikroskopie byla studována ultrastruktura tegumentu tasemnice Paraechinophallus japonicus (Pseudophyllidea: Echinophallidae), parazita batypelagické ryby Psenopsis anomala, která postrádá pravý skolex. Byly zjištěny 4 typy mikrotrichů, včetně tzv. tusk-shaped microtriches, které mohou představovat autapomorfii tasemnic čeledi Echinophallidae, jejíž zástupci jsou cizopasníky ryb čeledi Centrolophidae.
