Human material of an African specimen of Bertiella studeri (Blanchard, 1891), a typical intestinal cestode of monkeys, is described. Mature, postmature and gravid proglottides, and eggs, previously inadequately figured, are illustrated and photographed. The description of the species agrees with that provided by Stunkard (1940). A comparative study with other descriptions of the species is made in an attempt to clarify previous findings. The morphological differences reported in various earlier descriptions of the species suggest that B. studeri should be regarded as a "B. studeri species complex" Improvements are required in the descriptions of new future findings in order to clarify the specific diagnosis of human bertiellosis. Evidence suggests that a generalised diagnosis exclusively based on egg size and geographical distribution is insufficient to differentiate B. studeiri and Bertiella mucronata (Meyner, 1895), or additional species may be affecting humans.
本文描述了来自非洲标本的斯氏伯特绦虫（Bertiella studeri，Blanchard，1891）的人体材料，该绦虫是猴子典型的肠道绦虫。文中展示并拍摄了成熟、成熟后期和妊娠节片以及虫卵，这些之前的图示并不充分。该物种的描述与Stunkard（1940年）提供的描述一致。为了阐明之前的发现，对该物种的其他描述进行了比较研究。该物种早期各种描述中报告的形态差异表明，斯氏伯特绦虫应被视为一个“斯氏伯特绦虫物种复合体”。为了明确人体伯特绦虫病的具体诊断，未来对新发现的描述需要改进。有证据表明，仅基于虫卵大小和地理分布的综合诊断不足以区分斯氏伯特绦虫和短突伯特绦虫（Bertiella mucronata，Meyner，1895），或者可能还有其他物种感染人类。
