Abstract
A coot, Fulica americana americana Gmelin 1789, taken near Healdton, Oklahoma, in the spring of 1938, was found to harbor two examples of an apparently undescribed cestode for which the name Diorchis longibursa is proposed. The worms were fixed in hot 70 percent alcohol and stored until the summer of 1939 when time to study them became available. This description is based upon a study of in toto mounts and serial sections of a few proglottids, both stained with borax carmine.
