Abstract
A subclass of tapeworms, including most species of the class Cestoda (platyhelminthes). The Eucestoda differ from the other two subclasses of tapeworms, Amphilinidea and GyrocotyJidea, in larvae possessing six (instead of ten) posterior hooks and adults bearing (with very few exceptions) a number of "segments" or proglottids. All species are endoparasites of vertebrates, living in the digestive tract or ducts linked to it.
