Taxonomic remark Originally based on a larval stage from an invertebrate host. [details]
Taxonomic remark The species of Echinocephalus described solely from larvae should also be considered as species inquirendae or species dubiae, because the morphology of larvae is considerably different from that of conspecific adults and, therefore, any interspecific comparison based on morphology is impossible.
