![B. Blanchard in 1891 admitted the following species to this genus: A. perfoliata1 2 3 (Goeze, 1782). A. mamillana (Mehlis, 1831). A. plicata (Zeder, 1800). A. transversaria (Krabbe, 1879). A. ivimerosa (Moniez, 1880). A. globiceps2 (Diesing, 1856). A. blanchardi, Moniez, 1891. A. zebrce (Rudolphi, 1810). A. hyracis (Rudolphi, 1810). A. gigantea (Peters, 1856). Tcenia rhopalocepliala, Riehm, 1881. T. rhopaliocephala, Riebm, 1881. Two of these species, Tcenia rhopalocepliala and T. rhopaliocephala, I refer with Eailliet to the genus Andrya (vide, p. 154). Of the other species, A. ivimerosa is the only one which occurs in rabbits. This form is very closely allied to A. mamillana of the horse and A. transversaria of the marmot, which are here introduced for com- parison. Several of the remaining forms require further study before their generic position can be looked upon as fully established. Setti (1893) refers Arhynchotcenia critica Pagenstecher, 1877, and Tcenia ragazzii Setti, 1891, from Ryrax to this genus. ANOPLOCEPHALA WIMEROSA (Moniez, 1880), R. Blanchard, 1891.

Moniez, in 1880, described as T. ivimerosa a cestode which he found in Lepus cuniculus at Wimereux. His description reads as follows: [p. 241.] Le Bosnia Wimerosa appartient au type du Tcenia expansa. Observe ad’ceil nu ou sous de faibles grossissements, cette espece qui atteint a peine un centimetre de long sur une largeur de un millimetre et demi, se pr^sente avec un corps £pais, form6 dime dizaine d’anneaux seulement. La tete est grosse, les ventouses 6cartees, il n’y a ni bulbe ni crochets, le cou est nul. Les anneaux s’accusent d’abord par des plis accentues; leur rebord inf6rieur trks saillant est arrondi et orn6 d’une s&rie de cils 6Mgamment disposes; leur aspect rappelle celui des oils des ventouses dont j’ai parly ailleurs a propos de la Ligule. L’appareil genital n’est pas double dans cette espkee comme chez beaucoup d’Inermes et, par une autre particularity, tous les anneaux le portent du meme cote. En meme temps, l’ouverture genitale d^bouche au rebord inf^rieur de l’anneau, bien 1 The tapeworms of the horse should be subjected to an anatomical revision, and at the same time their specific names should be correctly established. I refrain from attempting to straighten out these names at present, as this can be done satis- factorily only when one has a good line of specimens before him. The tapeworms of horses are unfortunately very poorly represented in the Bureau of Animal Indus- try collection. 2Liihe, 1895 B, pp. 202-205, has recently reexamined Diesing's type material of this species, and has shown it to be an unquestionable Anoplocephala. 3 The citations immediately following the specific names include only those articles which have a direct bearing on the synonymy s. st.; other references are cited in the text by date of publication.
