Abstract
Type-specimens (syntypes) and comparative material of two Proteocephal us species, P. exiguus La Rue, 1911 and P. fallax La Rue, 1911, parasi tic in coregonid fishes from the Holarctic Region, were evaluated taxo nomically. Morphological and biometrical study revealed conspecificity of the taxa. P. fallax is therefore, considered to be a synonym of P. exiguus. Supplementary information is added to the species diagnosis of P. exiguus and a lectotype is designated herein.
