Abstract

A female Vancouver Island marmot, Marmota vancouverensis Swarth, 1911, collected on Green Mountain, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, was infected with the nematode Baylisascaris laevis and anoplocephalid tapeworms of the genus Diandrya. These worms differed from D. composita, the only species of Diandrya previously recorded, and are described as Diandrya vancouverensis sp.nov. The dimensions of reproductive organs and the presence of a neck and unarmed cirrus are characters distinctive to D. vancouverensis.
