Extract

Protogynous cestodes are mostly parasites of charadriiform birds and have been reported from different regions of the world. In India Progynotaenia odhneri Nybelin, 1914 has been reported by two authors (Singh, 1952 and Singh, 1959) in the form of two separate and new species (see Discussion). The present communication is based upon a study of about two dozen specimens from an unidentified host shot in the vicinity of Bareilly, U.P. The present material, which was found to represent a new species of Progynotaenia Fuhrmann, 1909, possesses a remarkable feature in the disposition of the rostellar armature which is quite unlike that in any protogynous form so far described.
