[Revision of Fuhrmaniella fausti Tseng Shen, 1932 (author's transl)].

The authors reexamined the original material of Fuhrmaniella fausti recolted by Faust and preserved within the collections of the University of Neuchâtel. They came to the following conclusions: 1. the description of F. fausti given by Tseng Shen, 1932 joins without any doubt the strobila of Microsomacanthus paramicrosoma Gasowska, 1931 and the scolex of the quite different species probably Microsomacanthus spiralibursata Czaplinski, 1956; 2. the specimens described by Spassky and Spasskaya 1961 as Microsomacanthus fausti belong to a different species, little known, which is proposed to be named Microsomacanthus beari sp. n.
