Two new species of Acanthobothrium, A. americanum, and A. lineatum, are described from a new host, Dasyatis americana Hildebrand and Schroeder. Acanthobothrium paulum Linton, 1890, is redescribed and considered a valid species. Additional data and corrections are presented in a redescription of A. brevissime Linton, 1908. The locality record for A. floridensis Goldstein, 1964, is extended to Chesapeake Bay, Virginia. A revised key to the species of Acanthobothrium from the Atlantic Coast of North America is presented.
