| Summary: | Australophiotaenia sp. 6 Host. Common death adder, Acanthophis antarticus (Shaw, 1805) (Ophidia: Elapidae). Distribution. Australia (Western Australia). Material studied. Two whole mounts with four pregravid proglottids (WAM 11-97) from Blanchins, Western Australia, 6.6.1996. Remarks. Only four pregravid, partly decomposed and deformed proglottids are available. It is characterised by possessing 56-63 testes (n = 3), 12–15 uterine diverticula on each side, the width of the ovary represents 46– 51% (n = 3) of the proglottid width; However, they possess a submedian genital pore, which is unique among all proteocephalid tapeworms (see Freze, 1965; Rego, 1994; de Chambrier et al., 2017). ... : Published as part of Chambrier, Alain De, Beveridge, Ian & Scholz, Tomáš, 2018, Tapeworms (Cestoda: Proteocephalidae) of Australian reptiles: hidden diversity of strictly host-specific parasites, pp. 477-498 in Zootaxa 4461 (4) on page 494, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4461.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/1460246 ... |
