Bothriocephalidean tapeworms parasitic in the blackfish, Centrolophus niger, are redescribed on the basis of the evaluation of freshly collected specimens and museum material. This evaluation enabled us to supplement species diagnoses by new morphological characters of potential use for phylogenetic analyses, including the data from scanning electron microscopical observations, and to provide a key to identification of the following four species occurring in this fish: Amphicotyle heteropleura, Milanella familiaris (both Triaenophoridae), Bothriocotyle solinosomum and Echinophallus wageneri (both Echinophallidae). Large spiniform microtriches were observed on the surface of the posterodorsal margin of segments of B. solinosomum, E. wageneri and M. familiaris. The invalidity of Atelemerus, first proposed by Bray et al. (1994), is supported by the present data and its type species, A. acanthodes, is newly synonymised with E. wageneri.
