Fimbriasacculus africanensis n. gen., n. sp., occurred in Anas capensis (50%), Anas erythrorhyncha (5%), and Anas undulata (12%) collected in the vicinity of the Barberspan Ornithological Research Station, Republic of South Africa. The new genus differs from others in the subfamily Fimbriariinae (Fimbriaria, Fimbriarioides, Fimbriariella, and Profimbriaria) in having 2 testes per proglottid rather than 3, an accessory sac, and a preovarian instead of postovarian vitelline gland. Fimbriasacculus africanensis n. sp. is described as the only known species in the genus. An emended diagnosis of the subfamily Fimbriariinae is provided.
非洲菌囊绦虫新属新种出现在南非共和国巴伯斯潘鸟类学研究站附近采集的南非鸭（50%）、赤颈鸭（5%）和绿翅鸭（12%）体内。该新属与菌囊绦虫亚科（菌囊绦虫属、拟菌囊绦虫属、小菌囊绦虫属和前菌囊绦虫属）的其他属不同，每个节片有2个睾丸而非3个，有一个附属囊，以及卵巢前而非卵巢后的卵黄腺。非洲菌囊绦虫新种被描述为该属唯一已知的物种。提供了菌囊绦虫亚科的修订诊断。
