19. Paranoplocephala octodensis (Babero et Cattan, 1975) n. comb. Syn. : Aprostatandrya octodensis Babero et Cattan, 1975. Original host: Oc^don_degus_, Chile. Holotype: deposited in the Helminthological Collection of the U.S. National Museum , No. 73439. Comments: This species is very close to the species P. gundii. Fundamentally it differs from it in the distribution of the testes (always only between the ventral excretory canals). Also the host and zoogeographical distribution of P. octodensis are specific. 20. Paranoplocephala petauristae (Sawada et Kugi, 1979) Schmidt, 1986. Syn. : Aprostatandrya (A.) petauristae Sawada et Kugi, 1979. Original host: Petaurista leucogenys (Sciuridae), Japan. Holotype: deposited in the Biological Laboratory, Nara University, Japan. Comments: This large species is very closely related to P. neotomae with the distribution of testes, both have large cirrus sac overlapping strongly the ventral excretory canal, and parasites of Sciuridae. 21. Paranoplocephala gracilis Tenora et Murai, 1980. Original host: MJ.cr£>tus_agrestis, Europe. Holotype: deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Comments: This species is very close to the species P. primordialis and P. arctica. Fundamentally is differs from both of them in that the cirrus sac is not so long and in the metric relation of vagina cirrus sac. Also the zoogeographical distribution and hosts are of some importance for the identification of the species P. gracilis (see GENOV 1984, TENORA, HAUKISALMI and HENTTONEN 1985b, TENORA, MURAI and VAUCHER 1985). For more details see the identification key and the references, 22. Paranoplocephala mascomai Murai, Tenora, et Rocamora, 1980 (Fig. 11). Original host: Micrjp£ujs_c_aJ3re_r^e. Holotype: deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, No. 7802 204. Comments: In its external morphology and length of the strobila this species rather resembles species of the genus Anoplocephaloides. These characters, in addition combined with metric char­acters and the distribution of testes in the mature segments, distinguish it expressively from other species of the genus Paranoplocephala (see key for identification). Only new material can clarify the generic status of thus species. 23. Paranoplocephala kalelai (Tenora, Haukisalmi et Henttonen, 1985) n. comb- ( Fig. 22). Syn.: Andrya kalelai Tenora, Haukisalmi et Henttonen, 1985. Original host: Ç]^h:Konj3m_ys rufocamjj! Holotype: deposited in the Zoological Museum , University of Helsinki, No. 205000­Comments: After our new detailed study of uterus evolution it is quite certain that this species belongs to the genus Paranoplocephala (for more details see TENORA, MURAI and VAUCHER 1985). It is very close to the species P. primordialis and P. gracilis. From both of these it con­siderably differs in the ratio length of cirrus sac: length of the vagina (in P . kalelai the va­gina is shorter than the length of the cirrus sac). In addition, it differs from the species P. gracilis in a relatively smaller number of testes, (n the study of TENORA, HAUKISALMI
