TABLE 1. — Measurements of Nybelinia sphyrnae Yamaguti, 1952 and N. jayapaulazariahi Reimer, 1980 in micrometers (µm). Abbreviations: m, measured from the types and see Material and methods; Y, Yamaguti (1952). Note: since the Japanese type specimens of N. sphyrnae are larger and longer than the Bornean specimens, the proglottids with the same size were compared between Bornean vouchers and Japanese type specimens. Regarding the southern Australian specimens of N. sphyrnae, immature proglottids could only be observed.
