Summary:Rauschoides n. g. (Fig. 14) Etymology. The name of the new genus refers to the late Robert L. Rausch, a pioneer and eminent figure in the taxonomy and zoogeography of anoplocephalids and other cestodes of Arctic mammals. “ Rauschoides ” is feminine. Diagnosis. Strobila of moderate length and width; very flat, transparent. Scolex small, merging gradually with neck. Suckers slightly protruding, directed antero-laterally. Neck narrow and usually long. In well-relaxed specimens anterior strobila and neck prominently elongated, thread-like. Proglottids craspedote, but velum short. Length/width ratio of mature proglottids usually high (37–63%). Genital pores either unilateral or frequently (and irregularly) alternating. Genital ducts pass dorsal to longitudinal osmoregulatory canals. Testes antiporal, anterior and antero-poral to ovary, extending beyond ventral longitudinal canals bilaterally. Testes mostly not overlapping ovary. Cirrus sac usually prominent, extending across antiporal longitudinal canals.
