The tapeworm Proteocephalus neglectus La Rue, 1911 (Cestoda: Proteocephalidae), a common trout parasite in Europe, is redescribed on the basis of type specimens, comparative material from two different hosts (Salmo trutta m. fario and Oncorhynchus mykiss) and several geographical regions as well as on the literary data. The lectotype of this species is designated and the problem of the validity of Proteocephalus species parasitizing salmonid fish is briefly discussed.
