Two new species of Paraorygmatobothrium Ruhnke, 1994, P. janineae n. sp. and P. kirstenae n. sp., are described from the spiral intestine of 2 shark species of the Family Hemigaleidae: Hemigaleus microstoma and Hemipristis elongata. The 2 new cestode species differ from other members of Paraorygmatobothrium in vitelline follicle distribution and possession of a cephalic peduncle. The 2 new species differ from 1 another in total length, maximum width, scolex size, number of proglottids per strobila, and number of testes per proglottid. The generic diagnosis of Paraorygmatobothrium is emended to include the new species. The results of this study extend the distribution of Paraorygmatobothrium to include the carcharhinid shark family Hemigaleidae.
1994年鲁恩克描述的副原吻绦虫属(Paraorygmatobothrium)的两个新物种,即雅尼内副原吻绦虫(P. janineae n. sp.)和基尔斯滕副原吻绦虫(P. kirstenae n. sp.),是从半沙条鲨科(Hemigaleidae)的两种鲨鱼的螺旋肠中发现的:小吻半沙条鲨(Hemigaleus microstoma)和长半锯鲨(Hemipristis elongata)。这两种新的绦虫物种在卵黄滤泡分布和具有头节柄方面与副原吻绦虫属的其他成员不同。这两个新物种在总长度、最大宽度、头节大小、每个节片的节片数量以及每个节片的睾丸数量方面彼此不同。副原吻绦虫属的属诊断被修订以包括新物种。这项研究的结果将副原吻绦虫属的分布范围扩大到包括真鲨科鲨鱼家族半沙条鲨科。
