Abstract

The study by scanning electron microscope of the scolex of Cotugnia polyacantha, Railiietina (R.) echinobothrida, R. (R.) tetragona, R. (R.) tunetensis and R. (Skrjabinia) cesticillus allowed us to demonstrate the presence, on the rostellum of each individual, of scale-like spines. We believe that these scale-like spines represent a new character of diagnosis for the whole of the Davaineidae.
