Helminths of Northwestern Mammals. Part I. Two New Species of Hymenolepis

Kenneth A. Neiland, Clyde M. Senger

Abstract

Apparently six species of Hymenolepis have been described previously from northwestern mammals: one (Rider and Macy, 1947) from the muskrat; another (Macy, 1947) from the northwest coast bat; and four species (Locker and Rausch, 1952) from various shrews.

All cestodes collected were fixed in formalin-alcohol-acetic acid solution. If
