Abstract
A rapid technique for identification of three taenioids from bobcats, based on hook morphology, using a simple system of microprojection and unstained scolices is described. Three species of Taenia from bobcats of Nebraska were collected. The rostella were removed; placed between two microscope slides; flooded with fixative, 70% ethanol, or tapwater; and pressed by means of two clamps to spread the hooks. The wet mount was then placed on the stage of a simple micro projector equipped with a calibrated ocular micrometer. The hooks were drawn and measured simultaneously
