 Comments
       
  Comment: ITIS provisionally treats family Onchobothriidae as valid here; however, '...until [genus Onchobothrium's] placement relative to the other genera can be determined with some confidence, the 12 elasmobranch-hosted genera remain essentially without family designations' (Caira and Jensen, eds., 2017)
