Moran et al. 1996 Tribe CONTRACAECINEA: genera Contracaecum and Phocascaris The species of these two genera are defined by characteristics of the adults. It is difficult therefore to assign larvae to any one species, and impossible to design a key for their reliable identification (Moravec 2013). Feeding experiments to rear larvae to adults and/or the application of molecular markers to aid identification of species may help solve these problems. Brattey (1995) used discriminant function analysis to reveal differences in shape among larvae of Contracaecum and Phocascaris . He reported that larvae of Phocascaris sp. and C. osculatum B can generally be distinguished by the use of three measurements (body length, and widths at mid-length and at the base of the intestinal caecum) although larvae of C. osculatum A could not be reliably distinguished from the other two species. The following taxa are included as their names have appeared in the relevant Canadian literature.
