Abstract
The development and structure of the larval Taenia rileyi Loewen, 1929, a cestode of nearctic felids, were studied in rodents infected experimentally with eggs from strobilae from lynx, Felis lynx L. The larval stage, intermediate in form between a cysticercus and a strobilocysticercus, was found to be unlike that of any other known species of Taenia and is designated a hemistrobilocysticercus. The tissue response in experimentally infected rodents is described. Morphologic features of the strobilar and larval stages by which T. rileyi is distinguished from Taenia omissa Lühe, 1910 are defined, and observations are included concerning geographic distribution and natural cycle.
