Abstract
Raillietina (Raillietina) guaricanae n. sp. is described from the wild rats oryzomys intermedius, O. nigripes and O. ratticeps, captured in the Environmental Protection Area of Guaricana, from November 1988 to December 1989. Raillietina (Raillietina) guaricanae n. sp. is closely related to the Neotropical mammalian Raillietina, however it differs b y the fewer number of rostellar hooks, and testes, different number of egg capsules and host species. The number of known species of Raillie tina (Raillietina), parasites of mammals in the Neotropical Region, is increased to four.
