Gastrolecithus planus (Linton) (Cestoda, Tetraphyllidea) parasitizing Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus) (Elasmobranchii) from the North Sea
INTRODUCTION\nIn 1889 Van Beneden described a new tetraphyllid cestode, Dinobothrium septaria, for which he erected a new genus. It was peculiar in having a rather small body with a very large scolex, the largest of all tapeworm holdfasts.\nSince then a small number of other species of Dinobothrium...
