Abstract

During systematic studies of helminths of reptiles and birds the writer found a very interesting cestode which was collected from Agama cyanogastcr and is described here as Megacapsula leipcr.i gen. et sp. nov. Two other cestodes, Oochoristica zonuri Baylis, 1919, and Arostellina rcticulala Neiland, 1955, are recorded from new hosts and are redescribed.
