Extract

Between January 1961 and March 1962 the writer made a parasite survey of twenty-three Wilson's Snipe, collected in Northern Colorado. Eleven birds were found to be infected with a previously undescribed species of hymenolepid cestode. The following description of a new species is based upon twenty-seven complete specimens recovered from the small intestines and caeca of these snipe.
