Tribe CONTRACAECINEA: genera Contracaecum and Phocascaris
The species of these two genera are defined by characteristics of the adults. It is difficult therefore to assign larvae
to any one species, and impossible to design a key for their reliable identification (Moravec 2013). Feeding
experiments to rear larvae to adults and/or the application of molecular markers to aid identification of species may
help solve these problems. Brattey (1995) used discriminant function analysis to reveal differences in shape among
larvae of Contracaecum and Phocascaris. He reported that larvae of Phocascaris sp. and C. osculatum B can
generally be distinguished by the use of three measurements (body length, and widths at mid-length and at the base
of the intestinal caecum) although larvae of C. osculatum A could not be reliably distinguished from the other two
species. The following taxa are included as their names have appeared in the relevant Canadian literature.
