A medium-sized Anoplocephalid; length: 110 mm, maximum width: 2.5 mm, number of proglottides: 360. Genital pores alternating irregularly, in small series, on one or the other side of the strobila (Fig. 1.). The scolex was damaged during collection, hence no precise data can be submitted. Width of neck region: 0.24 mm, length: 1 mm. Strobila invariably wider than long, the shape of only the last proglottides, filled with mature eggs, approaching the rectan­gular form. The length-width ratio of the strobila varies in the course of maturing: Ratio of first strobila 1:5 (0.080 x 0.400 mm); young hermaphrodite segments 1:11 (0,070 x 0.970 mm); mature hermaphrodite segments 1:8,1:9 (0,130-0.160 x 1.160-1.450 mm) ; after development of uterus 1:4, 1:7 (0.320-0.520 x 2.00-2.400 mm) ; proglottides containing immature eggs 1:3, 1:2.5 (0.640-0.720 x x 1.920-2.250 mm); proglottides containing mature eggs 1:1.3 (1.260-1.400 x 1.580­1.800 mm). Parenchymal musculature well developed; longitudinal bundles situated in two concentric circles, with also numerous diagonal and vertical muscles observable. Excretory system strongly developed:diameter of the two lateral pairs of excretory stems: 0.028-0,033 mm, and 0.050-0.070 mm, respectively, forming transverse anastomoses dorsally in each segment . Cloaca 0.060-0.120 mm deep, opening marginally and in median third of the segments - nearly medially in young segments - but shifting to posterior border of second third in older proglot­tides. During copulation the cloaca evaginates, exhibiting O.OiC— 0.045 mm high sexual papilla on the segment. Vagina open-
