and was characterized by its lack of an adult myzorhynchus and possession of bothridia that were “cloisonnées” (i.e., loculated). His subsequent (1994) diagnosis was fully consistent with his original concept of the subfamily. While the latter two features still serve to characterize members of this taxon, which henceforth should be known as the

in recognition of its elevation to family, we have expanded Euzets (1994) diagnosis to allow its members to be distinguished from the novel families established below that also bear facial loculi on their bothridia. The revised diagnosis also serves to accommodate genera not originally assigned to the subfamily by Euzet. This family is readily distinguished from all other families of rhinebothriideans in lacking bothridial apical suckers and also thus in lacking a definitive anterior/posterior orientation of the bothridia. That is not to say it is not possible to distinguish one end of a bothridium from the other for some species exhibit one loculus at one end and two at the other. It is just that without additional information it is not clear which end represents the anterior.

Of most concern is that, rather than possessing one to two columns of loculi extending essentially throughout its length, this taxon was described as bearing five complete facial loculi arranged in one apical and two symmetrical pairs. It would be interesting to explore the family-level placement of this taxon using molecular data, and also to more fully characterize the configuration of the facial loculi in this taxon.
