Abstract

The worms used in the present study comprise eight strobilae having scoleces, and a number of fragments. Four of the parasites were found in each of two out of three larval specimens of Typhlotriton spelaeus Stejneger, 1892,1 taken from a spring just below the dam of Grand Lake near Disney, Mayes County, Oklahoma. The salamanders were collected by Professor George A. Moore's class in ichthyology in April 1948. The cestodes were fixed in hot Bouin's fluid, stained in borax carmine, and mounted in toto in Canada balsam.
