Plagiorhynchidae is a family of parasitic Acanthocephalan worms.
Species
Genera in Plagiorhynchidae are divided into three subfamilies: Plagiorhynchinae, Porrorchinae, and Sphaerechinorhynchinae.[1][a]
Plagiorhynchinae Meyer, 1931
Paralueheia Saxena & Gupta, 2008
-
Paralueheia guptai Saxena & Gupta, 2008
Species in Plagiorhynchus are divided into two subgenera: Plagiorhynchus and Prosthorhynchus.[2]

Prosthorhynchus Kostylew, 1915
P. cylindraceus was found infesting the Austral thrush (Turdus falcklandii) in central Chile.[4] Janice Moore[5] discovered P. cylindraceus to be a parasite that infects an intermediate host, the terrestrial isopod Armadillidium vulgare, which alters its behavior and becomes more susceptible to P. cylindraceus' primary host, the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris).
