Three species of cestodes recovered from tree shrews, Tupaia glis, were identified as Sparganum sp., Hymenolepis diminuta, and Tupaiataenia quentini gen. et sp. n. The new genus is differentiated from Mathevotaenia, Markewitchitaenia and Atriotaenia by being craspedote, possessing a large seminal receptacle, the presence of a hermaphroditic canal leading into the genital atrium, and by having two opposable, muscular lappets on the anterior margin of each sucker.
从笔尾树鼩（Tupaia glis）体内发现的三种绦虫被鉴定为裂头蚴属（Sparganum sp.）、微小膜壳绦虫（Hymenolepis diminuta）以及新属新种的昆氏笔尾树鼩绦虫（Tupaiataenia quentini gen. et sp. n.）。该新属与马氏绦虫属（Mathevotaenia）、马氏绦虫属（Markewitchitaenia）和阿氏绦虫属（Atriotaenia）的区别在于具有缘膜，有一个大的受精囊，存在一条通向生殖腔的两性管，并且在每个吸盘的前缘有两个相对的肌肉叶。
