Extract

1. Skrjabinotaenia cricelomydis n.sp. is described from 18 specimens taken from Cricetomys gambianus Waterhouse, near Ibadan, Nigeria.

2. Apolytic proglottides are described and also some details of development of the eggs.

3. Details of the anatomy are given and their significance in deciding the relationship with other genera and species is discussed.

4. The regrouping of a number of species into the genus Skrjabinotaenia is proposed.

5. The diagnostic features of the genera Catenotaenia and Skrjabinotaenia are restated.
