SPASSKY and ANDRE JKO (19 68) found the cysticercoids of T. skrjabini in Moldavian Gammarus specimens. In the case of T. kurashvilii Prokopic et Matsaberidze, 1971 the life cycle in gammarids and the development in experimentally infected white mice were documented (MATSABERIDZE, PROKOPIC and ZARKUA, 1986). Both cysticercoids have rostellar hooks identical with the adult worms. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF TRIODONTOLEPIS SPECIES VAUCHER (1971) summarized the records of geographical distribution of tapeworms parasitizing Neomys species. Since his paper (considered only the literature data up to 1969) new findings have been presented by SPASSKY and ANDRE JKO (1968), PROKOPIC (1972), PROKOPIC and MATSABERIDZE (1972), MURAI, MÉSZÁROS and STOLLMANN (1983), MURAI and MÉSZÁROS (1984), GENOV (1984), VALKOUNOVÁ (1985), MATSABERIDZE, PROKOPIC and ZARKUA (1986). According to the above references the geographical range of various Tjú^dont^ejDis species [former Hymenolepis, transferred by YAMAGUTI (1959), SPASSKY and ANDREJKO (1969), PROKOPIC (19 72) and by the author in the genus Triodontolepis Yamaguti, 1959, or originally described in the above mentioned genus] are as follows: T. bifurca (Hamann, 1891): Pyrenees Mts, Massif Central in France, Jura Mts, Harz Mts, many localities in the Alps, Sumava Mts, Bohemian and Moravian Mts, Bialowieza National Park in Polen, West Carpathians from Biely Carpath to the Cergov Mts, South Slovakia and Slovensky Raj; Bakony Mts, Pilis Mts and Kisbalaton in Hungary; Stara Planina, Vitosa, Lozenska Planina in Bulgaria; South-West Caucasus (Georgian SSR). T. hamanni (Mrázek, 1891): Massif Central in France, Jura Mts, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Erlangen, Göttingen, Bohemian and Moravian Mountains, as well as a lot of localities were recorded in West Carpathians. Our records in the North-Central Mountains of Hungary (Börzsöny, Mátra, Bükk Mts) and from the Bakony Mts are in close vicinity of the localities in Slovakia. MATSABERIDZE and PROKOPIC recorded these species from the Georgian SSR. The findings from the Balkan Peninsula (GENOV, 1984) may be T. neomidis (Baer, 1931). T. skrjabini Spassky et Andrejko, 1968 was first recorded from Moldavian SSR and with our material its range is supplemented by localities in the Carpathian Basin: Gilau Mts (Roumania); Börzsöny Mts, Mátra Mts and Bükk Mts (Hungary); Chyzné in Stolické Vrchy and the Cergov Mts (Slovakia). T. neomidis (Baer, 1931) comb. n. found in environs of Geneva and in the Balkan Peninsula. T. rysavyi Prokopic, 1972 is known only from the type locality: Lidice in Czechoslovakia. T. kurashvilii Prokopic et Matsaberidze, 1972: This species were described and now in cysticercoid stadium found in the Likhet Mts (Georgian SSR). T. torrentis sp. n. known only from the Carpathian Basin (see present paper). SUMMARY An examination of Triodontolepis Yamaguti, 19 59 material from Neomys fodiens and N. anomalus in the Carpathian Basin resulted in the occurrence of four species: Triodonto lepis bifurca (Hamann, 1891), T. hamanni (Mrázek, 1891), T. skrjabini Spassky and Andrejko, 1968 and T. torrentis sp. n. As regards the morphology of Triodontolepis species, the most important characteristic is still the form of the rostellar hooks - "bifurca-type" - and the hosts, Neomys species. According to these fundamental principles, we propose Hymenolepis miniopteri Sandars, 1957 to be arranged in the genus Vampirolepis Spassky, 1954. Species composition of Triodontolepi s: T. bifurca (Hamann, 1891), syn. Taenia bifurca Hamann, 1891; Hymenolepis bifurca (Hamann, 1891) in BAER et JOYEUX (1943, 1952), VAUCHER (1971)-, Hymenolepis tridon tophora Soltys, 1954, Vampirolepis tridontophora (Soltys, 1954) in PROKOPIC, 1957, EDELÉNYI, 1966; Triodontolepis tridontophora (Soltys, 1954) in YAMAGUTI, 1959 as type species of the above mentioned genus.
