Remarks

Capsaloides cornutus View in CoL is the type­species of the genus. It was poorly described and not illustrated when first proposed by Verrill (1875). Verrill (1885) provided a diagrammatic figure which unfortunately does not assist with identification. Price (1939), who located the type­specimen and 2 other specimens from the same host species in the USNPC, provided a detailed description and illustrations. The haptoral accessory sclerites have a relatively narrow shaft ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 A). The margin of the body is sinuous and a single dorsomarginal body sclerite comprising approximately 20 cusps ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 A) surmounts each marginal sinuation. The left anterior isolated group of dorsomarginal body sclerites comprises 4–6 sclerites each with approximately 10 cusps. The right anterior isolated group of dorsomarginal body sclerites comprises 3 sclerites each with 7–10 cusps.
