Descriptive notes

Taxonomic remark Listed as a parasite of Scomber scomber and as a synonym of Hysterothylacium aduncum by Williams & Bunkley-Williams (1996)....

Taxonomic remark Listed as a parasite of Scomber scomber and as a synonym of Hysterothylacium aduncum by Williams & Bunkley-Williams (1996). Ascaris scombrica is mentioned in passing in Dujardin (1845) and is not listed in the Stiles & Hassall (1922) Nematoda volume. Apart from a mention of the host in Dujardin, this would appear to be a nomen nudum. DIG [details]
