Extract

Caryophyllids are widely distributed cestodes of the fresh water siluriform and cypriniform fishes of the world. There are about 126 species and 45 genera and they constitute approximately 25% of the cestode fauna of fresh water fish (Mackiewicz, 1972). Benthic-feeding fish become infected by eating tubificid worms (Annelida; Oligochaeta) that harbour the cercomer-beariug, infective stage; the tubificids, in turn, are infected by eating the operculated eggs in mud. Such a brief synopsis belies the fact that these well-known tapeworms are at the very heart of important questions concerning the evolution of Cestoidea. One has but to read Bazitov (1976), Freeman (1973), Kulakovskaya & Demshin (1978), Mameav (1975), Malmberg (1974) and Mackiewicz (1981) to appreciate that great differences still exist as to how caryophyllids evolved and what role they may have played in the evolution of the more numerous strobilate tapeworms.
