    The document summarizes key characteristics of two groups of cestodes, Pseudophyllidea and Cyclophyllidea. Pseudophyllidea have bothria (slit-like organs of attachment) and require two hosts, while Cyclophyllidea have suckers and require only one host. Cyclophyllidea also have a distinct gravid segment containing eggs, whereas Pseudophyllidea do not form gravid segments. Common examples of each group are provided, including the medically important tapeworms Taenia solium and Taenia saginata.
