A new species of cestode of the genus Linstowia (Cestoda: Anoplocephalidae) is described from marsupials of the genera Thylamys and Monodelphis. The new species (Linstowia schmidti) differs from Linstowia iheringi Zschokke, 1904, in having a much smaller strobila and reduced number of proglottids, and in the distribution of the eggs in gravid proglottids. In Bolivia, cestodes of the genus Linstowia appear to have a restricted geographic distribution, occurring in marsupials only in southeastern Bolivia near the western margin of the Chaco. This host-parasite association may represent an ecological-historical relict.
从袋鼬属(Thylamys)和短尾袋貂属(Monodelphis)的有袋类动物中发现了一种新的林氏绦虫属(Linstowia)绦虫(绦虫纲:裸头绦虫科)。新物种(施氏林氏绦虫,Linstowia schmidti)与1904年的伊氏林氏绦虫(Linstowia iheringi Zschokke)不同,其节片链小得多,孕节数量减少,且虫卵在孕节中的分布也不同。在玻利维亚,林氏绦虫属绦虫的地理分布似乎有限,仅出现在玻利维亚东南部靠近查科西部边缘的有袋类动物中。这种宿主 - 寄生虫关联可能代表了一种生态历史遗迹。
