Abstract
Hymenolepidoid Cestodes (Cyclophyllidae, Hymenolepidoidae) of Pratincole (Glareola Pratincola) from the South of UkraineFour hymenolepidoid cestode speciesGlareolepis porale(Meggitt, 1927) Spassky, 1967;Wardium(s. l.)tauricumKornyushin et Greben, sp. n.;Wardium(s. l.) sp. n.; andEchinocotyloides longirostris(Rudolphi, 1819) Kornyushin, 1983 from pratincole from the Southern Ukraine are discribed. The morphology ofG. poraleis described in details. An interesting new observation is that testes are lacking in female proglottides ofG. porale; the structures described in literature as testes in hermaphroditic proglottides are, in fact, ovarian lobes. The new cestode speciesWardium(s. l.)tauricumsp. n. is described. It is characterised by aploparaksoid hooks, 13-15 μm long, and conical armed cirrus, 20-22 μm long. Another cestode species,Wardium(s. l.) sp., is identified to the generic level only. It differs from all the species of the genus in the size and armament of the cirrus; however, no scolex was present in the material studied.
