Abstract
The material, which serves as the basis of the description below, comprises several microscope slides bearing in toto mounts of two scoleces and the strobilae of seven different tapeworms, taken from the lumen of the small intestine of a pintail duck, Anas acuta tzitzihoa, collected at Lake Carl Blackwell near Stillwater, Oklahoma, in October 1940. The cestodes had been fixed in hot Bouin's fluid and stained in borax carmine. They represent an apparently new species of Hymenolepis for which the name H. parvisaccata is proposed. Indebtedness is acknowledged to Mr. Mason Eugene Brock who collected the specimens and prepared the slides.
