2 Under the name D. crassula (Rud., 1819) two different forms have been described. The 
description of the one form was by Fuhrmann (1909, p. 104) from the study of Rudolphi’s type 
species and therefore must be regarded as defining the species. The other form described under 
the name D. crassula (Rud ) by Stiles (1896 6, p. 53), Railliet (1893, p. 306) and Clerc (1906, 
p. 725), and under that of D. columbae (Zed.) by Blanchard (1891 a, p. 436) differs from the type 
species in having unilateral genital pores, armed suckers, and rostellar hooks of half the size 
of those seen by Fuhrmann. Two species seem thus to have been confused together under the one 
name. Clerc’s form further differs from those seen by Stiles and Railliet in having 400 rostellar 
hooks instead of 70. Fuhrmann (1908, pp. 74 and 44) considers Alyselminthus columbae Zeder 
(1800) and Halysis columbae Zeder (1803) as possible synonyms of D. crassula Rud. This Cestode 
was first described by Rudolphi (1810, p. 94) under the name Taenia sphenocepliala, but as this, 
according^*) Fuhrmann’s (1906, p. 449) study of the type species, is a Hymenolepis, Alyselminthus 
columbae and Halysis columbae cannot possibly be synonyms of D. crassula. 
3 Synonyms: Taenia calva Baird, 1853; T. microps Diesing, 1857; T. tumens Mehlis. 
4 Synonym: Taenia lineata Rudolphi ex parte.
