A new species of the cestode genus Tylocephalum obtained from the host Dasyatis uarnak is described. A detailed examination of specimens have allowed us to erect a new species Tylocephalum to accommodate the worm. It shows remarkable differences from other known species of Tylocephalum in large size of the worm, absence of neck, variation in number of testes arrangement of vitellaria and genital openings. The new species is designated as Tylocephalum chiralensis.
描述了一种从豹纹魟宿主中获得的泰洛头属绦虫新物种。对标本的详细检查使我们能够建立一个新的泰洛头属物种来容纳这种蠕虫。它在蠕虫的大小、无颈部、睾丸数量变化、卵黄腺排列和生殖孔方面与其他已知的泰洛头属物种有显著差异。该新物种被命名为手性泰洛头绦虫。
