Species of Fimbriaria are common tapeworms of ducks (Anseriformes). In this study, cestode specimens identified as F. fasciolaris, F. czaplinskii and F. teresae from the Helminthological Collection of IZSHK are re-examined and newly collected cestodes of the genus Fimbriaria from various anseriform birds in Ukraine are examined.
Cestode specimens were studied using light microscopy. For two of these species, Fimbriaria fasciolaris and Fimbriaria teresae, partial sequences of the genes 18S, 28S, COX1 and NAD were obtained. Also, archived specimens from Ukrainian and Poland were also studied and partly re-identified.
The revision of all collected cestodes identified as Fimbriaria spp. revealed that species of the genus differ by the morphology of the copulative apparatus. Based on the analysis of our data and literature sources, a key to Fimbriaria species is provided.
膜壳绦虫属的物种是鸭（雁形目）常见的绦虫。在本研究中，对来自俄罗斯科学院动物研究所寄生虫学收藏馆中鉴定为束状膜壳绦虫、查普林斯基膜壳绦虫和特雷萨膜壳绦虫的绦虫标本进行了重新检查，并对乌克兰各种雁形目鸟类新采集的膜壳绦虫属绦虫进行了检查。
使用光学显微镜对绦虫标本进行研究。对于其中两个物种，即束状膜壳绦虫和特雷萨膜壳绦虫，获得了18S、28S、COX1和NAD基因的部分序列。此外，还对来自乌克兰和波兰的存档标本进行了研究并部分重新鉴定。
对所有鉴定为膜壳绦虫属的采集绦虫进行的修订表明，该属的物种在交配器官的形态上有所不同。基于对我们的数据和文献来源的分析，提供了膜壳绦虫属物种的检索表。
