Plagiorhynchidae is a family of parasitic Acanthocephalan worms.Species
Genera in Plagiorhynchidae are divided into three subfamilies: Plagiorhynchinae, Porrorchinae, and Sphaerechinorhynchinae.Plagiorhynchinae Meyer, 1931

Janice Moore 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.
