The morphology of larvae of four Proteocephalus species from copepod crustaceans as studied by scanning electron microscopy is described. Differences between species in the shape of the body and scolex as well as in the body size and relative position of suckers were revealed. In some species, a host-dependent variability in dimension indices and microthrix density was observed.
