Abstract

Examination of material of a species of Hymenolepis collected by Rausch from several species of bats taken near Marysville, Ohio, revealed that it was new. A series of specimens of the same species was collected in 1942 at Ames, Iowa, by Dr. Robert Roudabush. The new species, Hymenolepis roudabushi, is described.
