cephala, the genera Paranoplocephala Lühe, 1910 and Aprostatandrya Kirschenblat, 1938 would become synonyms of Andrya Railliet, 1893. " As far as "the pattern of the development of the uterus" is concerned, this criterion has not yet been used for distinguishing the genera in the subfamily Monieziinae. On the contrary, where the pattern of the development of the uterus is identical (e.g. in Andrya and Diandrya ), another criterion was used for the distinction: the simple reproductive system (Andrya ) vs. duplicated reproductive system ( Diandrya ). TENORA, VAUCHER and MURAI (1981-1982) and TENORA, MURAI and VAUCHER (1984) proved that the pattern of the development of the uterus of Andrya and Paranoplocephala was different but that in the final stages of development it was the same: - a network in gravid segments (Figs 34-45). Based on these findings we can state that they are two very closely related groups which can, however, be considered as separate genera. It is not being said that this opinion must be generally accepted by all taxonomists. Identification key to the genera of the subfamily Monieziinae 1. Simple reproductive system 2 duplicated reproductive system 5 2. Vagina in anterior position to cirrus sac Monoecocestus Beddard, 1914 vagina in posterior position to cirrus sac 3 3. Testes situated laterally and posterior ovarium Sudarikovina Hunkeler, 1972 another position of testes 4 4. Uterus formed anteriorly near ovary, situated ventrally, positioned transversally, gradually pushed back the testes and forms an organ with network structure Paranoplocephala Lühe, 1910 uterus first and agrégation near ovary, not positioned transversally, suddenly proliferated among the testes forming the network uterus Andrya Railliet, 1893 5. Vesicula seminalis externa and interna present Diandrya Darrah, 1930 vesicula seminalis externa and interna absent 6 6. Uterus duplicated, in two lateral groups Eranuides Semenova, 1972 uterus not duplicated 7 7. Parasites of Rodentia in south Africa F uhrmanella Baer, 1925 parasites of other Vertebrata 8 8. Vagina lies ventral to cirrus sac on both sides of strobila, parasites of Lagomorpha and Chinchillidae Cittotaenia Riehm, 1881 vagina lies ventral to cirrus sac on right hand side of strobila, dorsal to it on left hand side, parasites of different Vertebrata Moniezia Blanchard, 1891 I. HISTORY OF THE GENUS ANDRYA Railliet, 189 3 RIEHM (1881) described two new tapeworm species found as parasites of mamm als of the family Leporidae in Germany: Taenia rhopalocephala Riehm , 1881, T. rhopaliocephala Riehm, 1881. BLANCHARD (1891) declared the name T. rhopaliocephal a RIEHM, 1881 as a homonym of the species T. rhopalocephala Riehm , 188 1 and substituted the name T. rhopaliocephala with Ano- plocephala cuniculi Blanchard, 1891. In the same year (1891), BLANCHARD transferred the species T. rhopalocephala to the genus Anoplocephala.
