Abstract
Morphological characters, analysis of glucose phosphate isomerase, hexokinase and lactate dehydrogenase by isoelectric focusing in agarose gels, and experimental completion of the life-cycle in dogs have been used to demonstrate that adult Taenia from Canis mesomelas in Northern Kenya are conspecific with cysticerci from the skeletal muscle of Madoqua guentheri in the same area. The cysticerci are thought to be identical with those first described by Pellegrini (1950) as Cysticercus madoquae. The adults are shown to represent a species distinct from others in the genus and are designated T. madoquae n. comb.
