Rivolta described T. globipunctata and T. ovipunctata in tlie same paper (1) in which he described T. centripunctata. The article is not at hand. Perroncito (2,3) accepted both species; the following in regard to them is abstracted from his descriptions: T. globipunctata (globi-punteggiata, Ital.). Head lram in diameter; suckers directed forwards; neck absent. Length 45-60c,n; color -white or greenish yellow, like the contents of the intestines. Ripe segments 2mm wide by 0.15-0.17 long. Two spher- ical uteri are present; they appear as two lateral rows of whitish globules in the middle or posterior third of the strobila. Few eggs are present, oval, 28 ju by 24 /.r, four hooks visible in the embryo. T. ovipunctata (ovipunteggiata, Ital.). Head quadrangular, 0.50-0.65mm broad; neck absent. Segments in sexual activity present to the naked eye two lateral lines composed of line points, between which are seen larger bodies which are oval. This punctation is due in part to the vas deferens and in part to the uterus. The seg- ments immediately following the head vary in breadth from 0.33-lmm, with a length of 0.03; in mature segments the breadth is 1-2.5, length 0.08-0.12. Genital organs are on the sides of the segments; eggs oval, 20 ju by 16 jx.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28122604_0077.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
