Abstract
Chimaerula leonovi (Belogurov & Zueva, 1968) n. comb. (syns Liga leono vi, Himantaurus leonovi), a parasite of Charadrius spp. in the Palaear ctic, is redescribed on the basis of specimens from C. alexandrinus (A ves, Charadriiformes, Charadriidae) from Bulgaria (new geographical re cord). The new material differs from the original description in some metrical characters: the general measurements of the strobila and the number of proglottides, and measurements of the scolex, rostellar shea th, cirrus-sac and copulatory vagina. The generic diagnosis of Chimaer ula Bona, 1994 is amended in order to conform with the morphology of C . leonovi.
