Collections of rhinebothriidean cestodes (Platyhelminthes) from Australian batoid elasmobranchs revealed the presence of a number of new genera and species. Ruptobothrium louiseuzeti n. g., n sp. is described from the reticulate whipray, Himantura australis Last, Naylor & Manjaji-Matsumoto, from off the Northern Territory and Mixobothrium queenslandense n. g., n sp. is described from the green sawfish, Pristis zijsron Bleeker, from off north-eastern Queensland. Two new species of Rhabdotobothrium Euzet, 1953 are described: Rhabdotobothrium meridionale n. sp. from the southern eagle ray Myliobatis tenuicaudatus Hector from off South Australia and Rhabdotobothrium anoxypristidis n. sp. from the narrow sawfish, Anoxypristis cuspidatus (Latham) from off north Western Australia. A new species of Scalithrium Healy & Reyda, 2016, Scalithrium australiense n. sp., is described from the reticulate whipray, Himantura australis Last, Naylor & Manjaji-Matsumoto, from off northern Western Australia. Scalithrium smitii (Shinde, Deshmukh & Jadhav, 1981) n. comb. is reported from Australian waters for the first time in the black spotted stingray Maculabatis toshi (Whitley) from off northern Western Australia. New host and geographical records are provided for Stillabothrium jeanfortiae Forti, Aprill & Reyda, 2016 from the brown whipray Maculobatis toshi (Whitley) and the black-spotted whipray, Maculabatis cf. astra (Last, Manjaji-Matsumoto & Pogonoski) from Moreton Bay in southern Queensland.
对澳大利亚鳐形目板鳃亚纲鱼类体内的双叶槽科绦虫（扁形动物门）进行采集后，发现了许多新属和新物种。鲁氏裂槽绦虫（Ruptobothrium louiseuzeti），新属新种，是从北领地海域的网纹鲼（Himantura australis Last、Naylor & Manjaji - Matsumoto）体内发现并描述的；昆士兰混合槽绦虫（Mixobothrium queenslandense），新属新种，是从昆士兰东北部海域的绿锯鳐（Pristis zijsron Bleeker）体内发现并描述的。描述了1953年命名的棒槽绦虫属（Rhabdotobothrium Euzet）的两个新物种：南澳棒槽绦虫（Rhabdotobothrium meridionale），新种，采自南澳大利亚海域的细尾鹰魟（Myliobatis tenuicaudatus Hector）；无尖锯鳐棒槽绦虫（Rhabdotobothrium anoxypristidis）新种，采自西澳大利亚北部海域的尖齿锯鳐（Anoxypristis cuspidatus (Latham)）。描述了2016年命名的鳞槽绦虫属（Scalithrium Healy & Reyda）的一个新物种：澳洲鳞槽绦虫（Scalithrium australiense），新种，采自西澳大利亚北部海域的网纹鲼（Himantura australis Last、Naylor & Manjaji - Matsumoto）。首次在西澳大利亚北部海域的黑点魟（Maculabatis toshi (Whitley)）体内报道了史氏鳞槽绦虫（Scalithrium smitii (Shinde, Deshmukh & Jadhav, 1981)），新组合。提供了2016年命名的珍氏静槽绦虫（Stillabothrium jeanfortiae Forti, Aprill & Reyda）的新宿主和地理记录，宿主为昆士兰南部莫顿湾的褐魟（Maculabatis toshi (Whitley)）和疑似阿氏魟（Maculabatis cf. astra (Last, Manjaji - Matsumoto & Pogonoski)）。
