of the male and the vaginal pores also resemble that of A. ligu- 
loidea, and differs from that of A. foliacea. 
No hooklets were observed on the penis of our specimens. 
The eggs are large, measuring almost ‘1 mm. In shape they 
resemble half a sphere, the flat surface of which has became con- 
cave. No filament was observed. Compared with other known 
species of Amphilina, our specimens are enormous, as will be seen 
from the following table :—

The nearly related genus Wageneria contains the following 
species :— 
W. proglottis (Wag., 1854), Mont., 1892. 
W. aculeata, Cohn, 1902. 
W. porrecta (Liihe), Cohn, 1902. 
W. wmpudens (Crep., 1846), Cohn, 1902. 
W. sp. Ltihe, rgo2. 
W. sp. (Mont.) ? 
Unfortunately I have been unable to compare my types with 
descriptions of any of the above species of Wageneria, as literature 
was not available in India. The type of Amphilina magna, n. sp. 
is deposited in the Indian Museum.
