چکیده
A scanning electron-microscope examination of the scolex of Houttuynia struthionis, a cestode of ostriches, was undertaken in order to study its surface structure. The scolex differs from those of other subfamilies in the family Davaineidae in that it does not have scale-like spines covering the base of the rostellum. Instead, the base is covered with small hooks resembling the larger rostellar hooks in shape.

The poorly known proteocephalidean cestode Macrobothriotaenia ficta (Meggitt, 1931) from the sunbeam snake Xenopeltis unicolor (Ophidia: Xenopeltidae) is redescribed on the basis of re-examination of its type specimens from Burma (Myanmar), and vouchers from Thailand and Vietnam. The peculiar morphology of the scolex, which is formed by four pedunculate lobe-bearing pincer-shaped suckers, is de...
