ABSTRACT

Examination of museum collections of cyclophyllidean cestodes (families Paruterinidae and Davaineidae) from the Australian bustard, Ardeotis australis (Gray) (Aves: Gruiformes), revealed the presence of five species not previously reported from Australia: Ascometra vestita Cholodkovsky, Citation1912, Idiogenes kolbei Ortlepp, Citation1938, I. kori Ortlepp, Citation1938, I. nana Fuhrmann, Citation1925 and I. otidis Krabbe, Citation1868. All are known from a variety of genera and species of bustards from Africa and Eurasia. Minor differences were noted in the morphology of I. kori and I. nana from published descriptions, but these differences may be due to intraspecific variation.

摘要

对来自澳大利亚大鸨Ardeotis australis（灰色）（鸟纲：鹤形目）的 cyclophyllidean 绦虫（Paruterinidae 和 Davaineidae 科）博物馆藏品的检查揭示了澳大利亚以前未报道过的五个物种的存在：Ascometra vestita Cholodkovsky，引文1912，Idiogenes kolbei Ortlepp，引文1938，I. kori Ortlepp，引文1938，I. nana Fuhrmann，引文1925和I. otidis Krabbe，引文1868. 所有这些都来自非洲和欧亚大陆的各种不同属和种的鸨。I. kori和I. nana的形态与已发表的描述存在细微差异，但这些差异可能是由于种内变异造成的。
