Species
Genera in Plagiorhynchidae are divided into three subfamilies: Plagiorhynchinae, Porrorchinae, and Sphaerechinorhynchinae.[1][lower-alpha 1]
Plagiorhynchinae Meyer, 1931

ParalueheiaSaxena & Gupta, 2008 contains only one species, Paralueheia guptai Saxena & Gupta, 2008
Plagiorhynchus
Species in Plagiorhynchus Lühe, 1911 are divided into two subgenera: Plagiorhynchus and Prosthorhynchus.[2]

P. aznari was found infesting a long-billed curlew (Numenius americanus) from northern Mexico.[3]

Prosthorhynchus
Prosthorhynchus Kostylew, 1915 contains many species:

- Plagiorhynchus cylindraceus Goeze, 1782)
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).
