Aploparaksis mackoi n. sp (Cestoda : Hymenolepididae), a parasite of the common snipe Gallinago gallinago (L.) from the Slovak Republic

摘要

Aploparaksis mackoi n. sp. is described from a charadriiform bird, Gallinago gallinago ( L.), collected from the central Carpathian Region of the Slovak Republic. The new species differs from all previously known species of Aploparaksis Clerc, 1903 by having a very large conical cirrus with a maximum length up to 1.5 times the proglottis width. The species is characterised by 10 aploparaksoid hooks, 19 mum long, with long, thin blades. The position of the vitellarium, with respect to the ovary, varies within the same strobila from median to aporal.
