ABSTRACT. In this study a survey is given of all the hitherto described species of the genus Andrya and Paranoplocephala. Critical comments on all the species are included. There is an identification key to the species at the end of each chapter. The diagnosis of the genera Andrya and Paranoplocephala are emended, aswell as the criteria for the identification of the species are analysed. The generic composition of the subfamily Monieziinae is evaluated. KEY WORDS: Andrya, Paranoplocephala, Cestode, Monieziinae. The tapeworms which are the subject matter of this study, systematically belong to the family Anoplocephalidae, subfamily Monieziinae. Even though this subfamily is not always recognized by all taxonomists (a survey of authors e. g. in RAUSCH, 1976; TENORA, MURAI and VAUCHER, 1984; SCHMIDT 1986) it has lately been fully acknowledged as a complete subfamily (see e.g. RAUSCH, 1980). The subfamily Monieziinae is essentially formed by a group of genera, with two lines: one is characterized by a simple reproductive system, the other by a duplicated one. The distinguishing criterion of the tapeworms of the subfamily Monieziinae, which have a duplicated reproductive system, is whether both the vesicula seminalis externa and interna are present: genus Diandrya , if both are absent: the genera Moniezia, Fuhrmanella , Eranui- des , Cittotaenia . If both the vesicula seminalis externa and interna are absent then to state the differences among the genera is very difficult (compare in BAER, 1927; SPASSKY, 1951; SEMENOVA, 1972; TENORA, 1976; BEVERIDGE, 1978, SCHMIDT, 1986). The genus Pseudo- cittotaenia formerly incorrectly classified in the subfamily Monieziinae (see TENORA, 1976) belongs to the subfamily Anoplocephalinae (see BEVERIDGE, 1978). The genus Andrya, together with the genera Sudarikovina, Paranoplocephala and Monoecoces- tus, belongs to the tapeworm s of the subfamily Monieziinae having a simple reproductive system. A significant morphological criterion which characterizes the genus Sudarikovina is the position of the testes, in the genus Monoecocestus it is the opening and position of the vagina in relation to the cirrus sac. In connection with the findings of RAUSCH (1976), TENORA, VAUCHER and MURAI (1980-1981) and TENORA, MURAI, VAUCHER (1984), we come to the problem of what significant criterion distinguishes the genus Andrya from the genus Parano plocephala. RAUSCH (1976) is of the opinion that: "if the pattern of the development of the uterus in the latter species ( A. rhopalocephala ) does not differ from that in P. omphalodes and A. macro-
