A redescription of Diphyllobothrium stemmacephalum Cobbold, 1858 with comments on other marine species of Diphyllobothrium Cobbold, 1858

Diphyllobothrium stemmacephalum, the type-species of the genus Diphyllobothrium, is redescribed based on specimens found in Phocaena phocaena (L.) caught off Denmark and the Netherlands as well as specimens from the County Museum (Liverpool) from the type-locality. In addition, some other Diphyllobothrium species from marine mammals, D. cordatum, D. lanceolatum, D. hians, D. cameroni, D. elegans, D. lashleyi, D. wilsoni, D. rauschi sp. nov. (= syn. D. hians sensu Rausch, 1969) and D. minutus sp. nov. (= syn. D. elegans sensu Rausch, 1969), are briefly redescribed. In conclusion, a systematic grouping of the species is tried.
