INVALIDATION OF THE GENUS ANOMALOPORUS-VOGE AND DAVIS, 1953 (CESTODA,PARUTERINIDAE SENSU-LATO)

The type-specimens of Anomaloporus hesperiphonae Voge & Davis, 1953 (t ype-species of Anomaloporus) from Coccothraustes abeillei (Passeriform es) and A. lambi Voge & Davis, 1953 from Streptoprocne semicollaris (A podiformes), both from Mexico, are re-examined. The former species is considered a synonym of Orthoskrjabinia conica (Fuhrmann, 1908) (new s ynonymy) and, consequently, Anomaloporus is regarded as a junior synon ym of Orthoskrjabinia Spassky, 1947. The latter species is recognised as valid under the name Anonchotaenia (Anonchotaenia) lambi (Voge & Da vis, 1953) n. comb. Orthoskrjabinia rostellata (Rodgers, 1941) and Mul tiuterina dubininae Mathevossian, 1969, previously believed to be prob able synonyms of O. conica, are considered species inquirendae.
