Abstract	We compared the morphology, morphometry, and some aspects of the biology and ecology of Eubothrium crassum and E. salvelini, two pseudophyllidean tapeworms in brown trout, Salmo trutta m. lacustris, and Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus, in lakes of the western part of the Alps. The taxonomic importance of the apical disc for the discrimination of both taxa was confirmed. The apical disc of E. crassum is rectangular, possessing two deep grooves above the bothriae and 2–16 additional indentations. In E. salvelini, the apical disc is bilobed and bilaterally symmetric. We found new and significant interspecific differences in the length and width of the scolex, the diameter of the apical disc, and the width of the neck, with all measurements being larger in E. crassum. The two species differ in the number and size of the testes (fewer and larger in E. salvelini), the length of the cirrus sac (longer in E. crassum), and the size of vitelline follicles (larger in E. salvelini). Vitelline follicles of E. crassum are always cortical and sometimes enter into the outermost muscle fibres, whereas follicles of E. salvelini are situated largely medullary with few follicles entering between the innermost bundles of muscles. The eggs and the oncospheres of E. salvelini are larger. The embryonic hooks of E. crassum measure 14–18 μm whilst those of E. salvelini are 18–26 μm. For both taxa, the intraspecific variability in morphometric characters was fairly low. The prevalence and intensity of infection of E. crassum and E. salvelini in their respective fish hosts were very high (prevalence 90–94% mean intensity 36.3 and 6.6, maximums of 172 and 63 tapeworms per fish, respectively). E. salvelini eggs were spontaneously released throughout the year except for winter months; E. crassum laid eggs only in summer (June–August). Natural infection of copepods with Eubothrium procercoids was very low (prevalence 0.002%). The morphogenesis of Eubothrium procercoids was studied in an intermediate host, the copepod Cyclops prealpinus, that had been simultaneously infected with both species.
