This genus was described in 2009 by Sonja Reuckert and Brian Leander.[2]
There is one species in this genus - Platyproteum vivax. This species was moved from the genus Selenidium.
It appears to be related to Filipodium phascolosomae.
Descriptionedit
This parasite is tape like.
Life cycleedit
The parasite infects the gastrointestinal tract and is presumably transmitted by the orofaecal route but the details of this mechanism are presently unknown.
