Otobothriidae Explained

Otobothrioidea Dollfus is part of the five superfamilies of Palm's system. Through evolution it is seen that the bothrial pits of Otobothrioidea and the bothrial grooves of the Lacistorhynchoidea Guiart are related (Haseli, & Malekpour Fard, Z., 2017).

Otobothriidae is a family of tapeworm created by Robert-Philippe Dollfus in 1942.
