Abstract:

Pseudophyllidea was officially categorized into two orders in 2008 internationally: Bothriocephalidea and Diphyllobothriidea. Due to the limited advances in local tapeworm research, the relevant systematic classification has not been updated. This review summarized the adjustment history and alternate status of the classification system and lists the differentiation and identification characteristics of the major taxa in the diagram and table form. It would provide a reference for the local tapeworm research and the update of the tapeworm classification system.

Key words: Pseudophyllidea, Classification system adjustment, Bothriocephalidea, Diphyllobothriidea, Recognition features
