title: Observations on the phylogeny of the cestode order Pseudophyllidea Carus, 1863.
abstract: A preliminary phylogenetic analysis of the Pseudophyllidea, based on the 16 type-genera of putative families, indicates that a division into two suborders is reasonable. The subordinal grouping are, on the whole, congruent with those suggested by earlier workers, but the positions of three genera, Hexagonoporus, Cephalochlamys and Parabothriocephalus, are somewhat anomalous with respect to earlier work.
