This paper aimed to test the prediction that substantial undiscovered biodiversity in the tapeworm genusYamaguticestusCaira, Bueno & Jensen, exists in the 16 of 18 genera of catsharks globally that have not yet been examined for tapeworms. A total of 200 catsharks of 10 species representing eight genera were sampled opportunistically from the waters off Australia, Chile, Malaysian Borneo, South Africa, South Korea, and the UK between 1991 and 2017. Six species in four genera (i.e.,ApristurusGarman,AsymbolusWhitley,HolohalaelurusFowler, andScyliorhinusBlainville) were found to host a total of six new species ofYamaguticestus, tripling the number of described species. The new species areYamaguticestus africanaesp. nov. fromScyliorhinus capensis,Yamaguticestus ellisisp. nov. fromScyliorhinus canicula,Scyliorhinus fairweatheraesp. nov. fromHolohalaelurus regani,Yamaguticestus kihongkimisp. nov. fromScyliorhinus torazame, andYamaguticestus kuchtaisp. nov. fromApristurus aphyodes. The new species were characterized using a combination of light and scanning electron microscopy; sequence data for the D1–D3 region of the28S rRNAgene were generated for five of the species. Transfer of a species formerly assigned toCalyptrobothriumMonticelli, 1893 that is morphologically consistent withYamaguticestusaddedCephaloscylliumGill to the list of catshark genera known to host this genus. Most tapeworm species exhibited a remarkably low prevalence and intensity of infection suggesting that our failure to detect infection in the four genera of sharks represented by small sample sizes may not be indicative of their unsuitability as hosts. Our results suggest that the earlier prediction that 70 species ofYamaguticestusremain to be discovered in catsharks across the planet may actually be an underestimate.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:63F48CF6-ED06-44FC-839D-
