Extract

Of the two specimens of the little grebe, Podiceps ruficollis Vroeg shot in the environs of district Pilibhit, U.P., one harboured two mature specimens of the genus Schistotaenia Cohn, 1900 and a large number of specimens of the genus Tatria Kowalewski, 1904. Study of these specimens has shown that the former is a new species. So far as the author is aware, this is the first record of amabilid cestodes from India.
