Marine Ecology and Invasive Species

The use of DNA sequence data has played a key role in these discoveries, but it also presents a new challenge in that the taxonomic treatments of new species often lag behind the publication of phylogenies that include such undescribed taxa.For example, in their proposal for the tapeworm order Rhinebothriidea, Healy et al. ( 2009) presented a phylogenetic hypothesis that included a total of 36 rhinebothriidean species, 27 of which were new to science, as well as four clades considered to represent new genera.This paper focuses on species assigned to 'Rhinebothriinae New genus 3' by Healy et al. (2009).In addition to formal generic designation of Healy et al.'s (2009) New Genus 3, five new species are described and two described species are transferred to the new genus.The present study includes a large collection of specimens of the new genus from Senegal, Malaysian Borneo, Indonesian Borneo, Vietnam and Australia.
