Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 November 2009
Extract
Two new species of Multiceps are described. M. macracantha n. sp. a parasite of the white rat in Rhodesia, is distinguished by the possession of very large hooks. M. otomys n. sp. from a mouse, Otomys erroratus in Pretoria; has fairly large hooks of a characteristic appearance and shape.
The fact that the large taeniid hook appears to develop from at least two centres of chitinization is noted.
