Profilicollis is a genus of acanthocephalan parasites of crustaceans. The status of the genus Profilicollis has been debated, and species placed in this genus were formerly included in the genus Polymorphus. However, research on the morphology of the group and their use of hosts has concluded that Profilicollis and Polymorphus should be regarded as distinct genera, and species previously described as Polymorphus altmani are now referred to as Profilicollis altmani in taxonomic and biological literature. Profilicollis parasites infect decapod crustaceans, usually shore crabs, as intermediate hosts, and use many species of shorebirds as definitive (final) hosts.

- Profilicollis is een geslacht in de taxonomische indeling van de Acanthocephala (haakwormen). De worm wordt meestal 1 tot 2 cm lang. Ze komen algemeen voor in het maag-darmstelsel van ongewervelden, vissen, amfibieƫn, vogels en zoogdieren. De haakworm behoort tot de familie Polymorphidae. Profilicollis werd in 1931 ontdekt door Meyer. (nl)
