Gyrocotylidea Poche, 1926
Original language description
Members of this group are exclusively parasites of the spiral intestine of holocephalans (Chimaeriformes), commonly known as ratfishes. Even though these parasites have been known for more than 150 years, gyrocotylideans remain among the most poorly known cestode orders in terms of their diversity, classification, and biology. In fact, a complete life-cycle is not yet known for any species. Their relationships to other parasitic flatworms (i.e., the Neodermata) have been the subject of discussion for decades (for a review see Williams et al. [1987]). Simmons (1974) referred to Gyrocotyle Diesing, 1850 as a “century-old enigma” in the title of a chapter focussed on the genus, the enigmatic status of the group persists today.
