Abstract

The phylogeny of tapeworms provided the focus for the 2nd International Workshop for Tapeworm Systematics, which led to the development of novel hypotheses from the ordinal to the species level for taxa of the Eucestoda. Conceptual roots for this meeting ema­nated from discussions initiated during the Ist Workshop chaired by Claude Vaucher and Jean Mariaux at the Museum of Natural History, Geneva in 1993.
