Abstract

13 species of ccstodcs from 13 species of Philippine birds are reported from Palawan Island. Raillietina (R.) palawanensis n. sp., from Chalcophaps i. indica, has three or four testes, and a cirrus pouch 93 to 108 µm long, 28 to 45 µm wide, and its egg capsules are 10 to 12 µm long, seven to nine µm wide, each containing four to six eggs. Raillietina (R.) passeriformicola n. sp., from Gracula religiosa palawanensis, has seven to nine testes, and a cirrus pouch 134 to 170 µm long, 47 to 68 µm wide. Its egg capsules are 79 to 115 µm wide, containing 7 to 12 eggs each. Raillietina (R.) fischthali n. sp., from Ducula aenea palawanensis, has 12 to 15 testes, and a cirrus pouch 130 to 150 µm long, 52 to 72 µm wide. Its egg capsules are 130 to 200 µmi wide each containing 50 to 70 eggs. Raillietina (R.) johri Ortlepp, 1938, is redescribed. Anonchotaenia chauhani Mukherjee, 1965 is shown to be a junior synonym of A. gaugl Singh, 1952.
