    AN ADULT CESTODE (DIPLOGONOPORUS GRANDIS) OF MAN WHICH MAY POSSIBLY OCCUR IN RETURNING AMERICAN TROOPS. By Ch. Wakdell Stiles, Ph. D., Pathologist of Bureau of Animal Industry, AND Louise Tayler, M. S., Assistant, Bureau of Animal Industry. [Figures 22-28.] Upon several occasions one of us has called attention to the fact that our troops, upon returning' to this country from their Asiatic service, may bring back with them certain animal parasites which are not familiar to American practitioners. The object of the present paper is to call attention to an adult Asiatic tapeworm, which is vcr}^ different from the American forms. Described in a few words, it belongs to the family Bothriocephalidas, subfamily Dibo- thriocephalinfe, and is similar to Dihothriocephalus latus, the broad Russian tapeworm (usually known as Botliriocephalm latris)^ differing, however, from that form in that every segment has a double instead of a single set of genital organs. The generic and specilic diagnoses and synonymy of this parasite are as follows: Genus Diplogonopoeus (Lonnberg, 1892). Generic diagnosis.—Dibothriocephalinfe: Scolex short, with two strong, grooved suckers. Neck absent. Proglottids short and broad. In each segment two sets of genital organs, otherwise like Dibothriocephalus. In each segment may be recognized the following: Median field, two'uterine fields, and two lateral fields. Genital pores (cirrus, vaginal, uterine) ventral in longitudinal row in uterine field; vitellogene glands and testicles in lateral and median fields. Vitellogene follicles between inner and outer longitudinal muscles. Uterus forms rosette. Parasites in man and whales. Type species.—Diplogonoporus halxnopterx Lonnberg, 1892.
