RESULTS Suborder CATENOTAENIATA'Spassky, 1963 Description (after SPASSKY, 1963): Cyclophyllidea of flat bodies. Strobila craspedote or acraspedote. Larval stages of merocercoid type provided with apical sucker and developing in invertebrates. Larvogenesis without metameria stage. Basic stem of uterus lying longitudinaUy, giving off side branches. Testes situated behind female genital organs, on their sides or in front of them. Adult specimens parasitise in rodents. Type family: Catenotaeniidae Spassky, 1950. Family CATENOTAENIIDAE Spassky, 19 50 Description (after GENOV and TENORA, 1979): Catenotaeniata of small to medium size. Scolex rounded or semioval, and provided with four suckers. Rostellum and rostellar hooks lacking. Mature segments are elongated either transversely or longitudinally, similar to gravid segments. Genital apparatus is unpaired. Testes situated either in the lower part of proglottids and do not surround the ovary, or surround the cvary in various ways according to its situation. Vitelline gland lies near the poral part of proglottids or posteriorly to ovary. Ovary is asymmetrical (except Quentinotaenia), its anterior margin either overlaping genital openings or reaching to the level of these openings. Openings of genital organs situated either in the lower part of anterior third of proglottids near the upper margin of the anterior third of proglottids, or near the anterior part of proglottids. Vas deferens is tubular or ribbonlike; the cirrus sac. contains a cirrus with or without spines. Vesicula seminalis externa and interna absent. Vagina situated posteriorly to the openings of male genital organs. Uterus consisting of a central stem giving off side branches, lateral branches bearing secondary branches. The excretory system comprises longitudinal and transverse stems or a large number of longitudinal stems with processes. Larval stage of meroceroid type developing in arthropods. It is provided with an apical sucker which may remain even in mature specimens. Eggs are oval and their surface is smooth or with processes. Oncosphere possesse« an oval membrane or a membrane with processes. Adult specimens parasitise rodents. Type genus: Catenotaenia Janicki, 1904.
