They are characterised mainly by the morphology of the scolex (the number and type of attachment organs such as paired bothria and bothridia or four muscular suckers – see Figs 4.6.2B, 4.6.5A) and the morphology of the reproductive organs such as the structure of vitelline follicles (diffuse in the cortex, in lateral bands or compact), position of gonads (in the cortex or medulla), egg morphology, structure of the uterus, etc. (e.g., Fig. 4.6.5B, see Khalil et al. 1994 for keys to the orders, families and genera of cestodes, and Caira & Jensen 2017 for updated information on all cestodes).
