Specific Diagnosis.—Dipylidium: Strobila 15 to 35 cm. long;head small, globular; rostellum club-shaped, with 3 to 4 trans-verse rows of hooks (about 60 in number) of rose-thorn form; theanterior hooks 15 microns; the posterior hooks 6 microns; suckersrelatively large, rather elliptical. Segments 80 to 120 in number;gravid segments 8 to 11 mm. long, 1.5 to 3 mm. broad, often red-dish, brown in color. Genital pores at equator or in posterior halfof segment; uterus forms egg-capsules, each containing 8 to 20Text Appearing After Image:Fig. 4.—Head of same, showing four rows of rose-thorn hooks on therostellum and four unarmed suckers.
