On a new Cyclophyllidean cestode, Multiceps smythi n.sp., from dogs in Dublin, Eire

  • L. N. Johri (a1)
Extract

A general morphological account of Multiceps smythi n.sp. from the local dogs in Dublin is given. This new species is characterized by forty-four rostellar hooks arranged in two rows of alternating crowns. Testes 286–310 in a single segment, occupying all parts of the segment in between the longitudinal excretory vessels, except the poral, posterior portion of the segment. Vagina opening posterior to the cirrus sac. Receptaculum seminis present. Uterus with 16–19 lateral branches on each side. Onchosphere enclosed in an embryophore, which is itself enclosed in a thin-walled capsule which has a bulge on one side containing fatty globules. The histological structure of Mehlis' gland and of the vitelline glands is also described.
