Note. The generic assignment of A. cuniculi has not yet been cleared. Until recently it was placed in the genus Andrya Rai Iii et, 1893 (see, e.g., JOYEUX and BAER 1936, SPASSKY 1951, LÓPEZ-NEYRA 1954, YAMAGUTI 1959). TENORA and MURAI (1980) (after the figures sensu RAUSCH, 1976) reported this species as a member of Paranoplocephala Lühe, 1910. It should be noted that It is necessary to study other characters, particularly those of generic value, before this species can be assigned to the genus Paranoplocephala . The features as character of external seminal vesicle or evolution of uterus should be considered. In spite of these circumstances it is necessary to note that A. cuniculi appears to be vicarious in re­lation to A . rhopalocephala (Riehm, 1881) and, except for the geographical distribution, it differs from this species in many characters, as, e.g., arrangement of testes. In A. rhopalocephala, the testes reach at most the aporal margin of ovary whereas in A. cuniculi , they extend up to the poral ventral excretory canal. Also thesituation of the cirrus sac is different; in A. cuniculi it is short, not reaching poral ventral excretory canal, only touching it in some cases, whereas in A. rhopalocephala , the cir­rus sac overlaps the poral ventral excretory canal. A marked character, which is common for the two species, is a large seminal receptacle persisting even in fully gravid segments. Also the character of the external seminal vesicle is similar in A. rhopalocephala and A. cuniculi . 3. Neoctenotaenia ctenoides (Railliet, 1890) Host: Oryctolagus cuniculus Localization: small intestine locality: Cordoba This species has been reported from Spain by, e.g., LOPEZ-NEYRA (1947), TARAZONA (1955)and most recently by TENORA and CUTILLAS (in press). The genital organs of this species are doubled, the cirrus sac is short and never reaching ventral excretory canal. The uterus overlaps the ventral ex­cretory canal on both sides. The testes are situated posteriorly to the uterus between the vitelline glands and porally to them, not overlapping the ventral excretory canal. The material from Spain con­forms to the description reported by BEVERIDGE (1978) and TENORA and CUTILLAS (in press). CONCLUSIONS The paper deals with records of the species Anoplocephaloides pseudowimerosa sp.n. and Andrya cuni­ culi (Blanchard, 1891) from Oryctolagus cuniculus (Linnaeus, 1758) in the territory of Granada. A new locality (Cordoba) is recorded for Neoctenotaenia ctenoides (Railliet, 1890). The differential diagnosis of A. pseudowimerosa sp. n. is given. It is also recommended, that the gen­eric assignment of A . cuniculi (Blanchard, 1891) should be revised. The characters distinguishing A.cu­ niculi from A. rhopalocephala (Riehm, 1881) are given. TENORA, F. — MURAI, É. — VALERO, A. — CUTILLAS, C: Anoplocephaloides pseudowimerosa sp. n. és más Anoplocephalidae fajok (Cestoda) spanyolországi üregi nyulakból (Leporidae) A spanyolországi üregi nyulak parazitológiai vizsgálata három galandféreg-faj jelenlétét bizonyította: az Anoplocephaloides pseudowimerosa tudományra új faj és az Andrya cuniculi (Blanchard, 1891) Gra­nadából kerültek elő; a Neoctenotaenia ctenoides (Railliet, 1890) fajnak Cordóba új lelőhelye.
