Abstract

Description of a new species of Hymenolepididae, Hymenolepis guadeloupensis n. sp., parasite of domestic duck, Anas boschas Linné, in Guadalupa. This species, actually, cannot be completely identified to Hymenolepis fista Meggitt, 1933, Cestode of asiatic Cotton ygmy goose, because the latter is insufficiently described.
