Redescription of Proteocephalus bagri and P. rhamdiae (Cestoda: Proteocephalidae), parasites of Rhamdia quelen (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae) from South America, with comments on morphological variation

The pimelodid fish Rhamdia quelen (Quoy et Gaimard, 1824) in South America harbours two species of proteocephalid cestodes, Proteocephalus bagri Holcman-Spector et Mañé-Garzón, 1988 and P. rhamdiae Holcman-Spector et Mañé-Garzón, 1988. These species are redescribed based on a detailed morphological...
