A study of the echinocephalid nematode parasites of elasmobranchs from South Australian coastal waters identified the species present as Echinocephalus overstreeti Deardorff and Ko, 1983, previously known only from a ray Taeniura melanospilos Bleeker from the Marquesas Islands in the southern Pacific Ocean, and since reported from another species of ray, Urogymnus asperrimus (Block and Schneider), from Eniwetok Atoll (also spelled Enewetak Atoll) in the Marshall Islands of the eastern Pacific.
