Abstract
Burhinotaenia colombiana n. sp. (Dilepididae) is described from the sm all intestine of the double-striped stone curlew Burhinus bistriatus ( Burhinidae) captured at Carimagua, Colombia. The new species is distin guished from the most similar Burhinotaenia delachauxi (Baer, 1925), a parasite of the Old World Burhinus spp., by the longer cirrus-sac (37 5-590, avg. 514 mu m vs. 322-393, avg. 354 mu m) and longer rostellar hooks (412-4511, avg. 440 mu m vs. 358-367, avg. 364 mu m). The validi ty of the genus Burhinotaenia Spasskii and Spasskaya, 1965 and its gen eric diagnosis as proposed by Bona (1994) are confirmed. This is the f irst record of a species of Burhinotaenia in the New World.
