The Bucephaloidea are a superfamily of trematode flatworms, belonging to the large group Digenea. They contain numerous endoparasites of mollusks and fish. The name "Bucephalus" meaning "ox head" was originally applied to the genus Bucephalus because of the horn-like appearance of the forked tail (furcae) of its cercaria larva. By what Manter calls a "curious circumstance", horns are also suggested by the long tentacles of adult worms.
