Schematic representation of proteocephalidean uterus development (a–c). The uterus observed in early immature, premature, mature, pregravid and gravid proglottids is represented from left to right. The major differences are observed in premature and mature proglottids (dotted line): a and c Development of Type 1 and 2, respectively (de Chambrier et al. 2004c) b Development of an “intermediate type” as observed in Pangasiocestus and Australotaenia (this paper) d Typical “intermediate type” uterus in a mature proglottid of Australotaenia bunthangi de Chambrier & Scholz, 2012 (holotype, MHNG-PLAT-75447).
