Echinocephalus scoliodonti n. sp. from the spiral valve of elasmobranch fish, Scoliodon sorrakowah (Cuvier) collected from Bheemunipatnam (Bay of Bengal) is described and figured. A detailed examination has allowed us to erect a new especies of Echinocephalus to accommodate the worm. It shows remarkable differences from other known species of Echinocephalus in respect of body measurements, number and arrangement of caudal papillae, number of rows of cephalic spines, absence of gubernaculum and presence of oesophago-intestinal valves. The new species is designated as Echinocephalus scoliodonti.
描述并图示了采自印度孟加拉湾比穆尼帕特南的皱唇鲨（Scoliodon sorrakowah，居维叶）螺旋瓣内的新种——斯氏棘头虫（Echinocephalus scoliodonti）。经过详细检查，我们建立了一个新的棘头虫物种来容纳该蠕虫。它在身体尺寸、尾乳头数量和排列、头棘排数、无引带以及存在食管肠瓣等方面与其他已知的棘头虫物种表现出显著差异。新物种被命名为斯氏棘头虫（Echinocephalus scoliodonti）。
