greatest width 2*5-4 mm. Large scolex followed by extremely short neck narrowing strongly, and by clavate strobila widening rapidly. Number of segments very few, in adult worm 40-50. Scolex width 1-1*1 mm, length 0*8 mm, with four muscular cupshaped suckers (Fig. 6). External diameter 320-420 p, diameter of hollow of suckers 250-260 yu. Neck width 300-400 yu. Developing organs visible beginning from segment 10 (1100x80 ja) . Number of hermaphroditic segments 15» measurements 1500-1800 x 250-300 yu (Fig. 7). Uterus tubular, elongated transversaly , provided with numerous lobes at both sides ,filling proglottids behind segment 30 (Fig. 8). Uterus containing mature eggs from segments 35-40 (3OOO-36OO x 500 yu). Atrium genitale alternating irregularly. Testes antiporal, lying in 2-3 loose rows. Number of testes 2532, 35-40 yu in diameter. Cirrus pouch 220-290 x 60-90 p. Cirrus finely spinous, length 50yu. Internal vesicula seminalis 5O-8O p, external vesicula seminalis 45-90 yu. Vagina opening into atrium genitale behind cirrus-pouch; a muscular organ followed by large receptaculum seminis (130 x 320 p) . Wide-lobed ovary situated medially towards poralis, 100-125 x 320-430 yu. Vitelline gland in middle of segment anterior to ovary, with two lobes, 200x125 yu . Egg 46-50 yu,bulbus of pyriform apparatus 7 u, length of embryonal hooks 4 yu. This species was recorded by EDELÉNYI (1965) from M. arvalis in Fungary. It is a characteristic parasite of the voles. The occurrence of this tapeworm is to be expected also from other regions of Hungary. Andrya sp . + Hosts: Microtus arvalis, M. agrestis, Pitymys subterraneus, Clethrionomys glareolus. - Localities (till the end 1972): N This cestode belongs to the alliance listed by several authors as Paranoplocephala omphalodes (Hermann, 1783) (by others as Andrya montana Kirshenblat, 1941 or A. bialowiezensis Soltys, 1949) among the parasites of the European vole species . However , the uterus of the tapeworm fails to concur with name Andrya sp ., pending my studies on the clarification of the morphological problem .
