Hung. 6. 111-116. 1973. First record of the tapeworm H. horrida (Linstow, 1901) in Hungary from Microtinae. Pitymys subterraneus was found to be a new host for H.horrida. The description of the authors' material, with the data on invasion extensity and intensity, as well as the systematic and taxonomic status of the species, are given. Introduction The tapeworm species Hymenolepis horrida has not been recorded from rodents of the subfamily Microtinae in Hungary sofar. This paper reviews our previous contributions on the tapeworms of the genus Hymenolepis (Weinland

, 1858) (see TENORA and MURAI 1972),and it gives the description of our material of H. horrida from the new host Pitymys subterraneus. Material The tapeworm collection deposited in the Zoological Department of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, preserves the H. horrida material from three host species of the subfamily Microtinae. This tapeworm was found in six localities in Clethrionomys glareolus (296 host specimens were examined), in two localities in Pitymys subterraneus (64 host specimens examined), in two localities in Microtus arvalis (197 host specimens examined). More details on our material are given below. Ill
