ART. 3 A NEW SPECIES OF CESTODE ZELIFF 3 



G . cryptdhrmiohu also falls within this group (E) but has not been 

 placed there by Meggitt because the description was lacking. It 

 differs from the one described in the alternating position of the 

 vagina and the smaller number of uterine diverticula. There is a 

 close similarity to Ichthyotaenia filaroides, but the number of uterine 

 diverticula, measurements, and apex of the scolex are points of 

 differentiation. C. inagnuin has the genital pore located between 

 the first and middle third of the segment, less uterine diverticula, 

 and the vagina anterior or posterior to the cirrus pouch. Ichthyo- 

 taenia hylae has the vagina anterior to the cirrus pouch, but the 

 number of the testes and uterine diverticula is less.
