Extract

The material for this species consists of a slide of two worms from the intestine of Heterotis niloticus from the Sudan. The strobilae measure 4·8 cm., and 8 cm. in length. The early segments are longer than broad, but the mature segments are broader than long, measuring 900–960µ broad by 400µ long, and are 175 and 274 in number. The superficial segmentation of alternate segments is weak, and the individual segments are distinguished by the repetition of the genitalia. The genital pores are irregularly alternate and are situated at the middle of the lateral margin of the segments.
