Description
Raillietina melomyos Jones & Anderson, 1996
Material examined. From Paramelomys rubex (Thomas, 1922) (mountain paramelomys): Mt Somoro, Torricelli Mountains, West Sepik Province, 3°24'S 142°08'E (W23804); from Rattus steini Rümmler, 1935 (Stein’s New Guinea rat): Mt Missim, Wau, Morobe Province, 7°17'S 146°46'E (W23809).
Remarks. This species was originally described from Melomys rufescens from the Western Highland Province of Papua New Guinea (Jones & Anderson, 1996). The species is rEadily idEntifiablE by its small rOstEllar hOOks 8–11 µm long and its armed suckers. The cestode species is recorded here from two new host species. Material from a single M. rufescens was available in the current collection, but it lacked scoleces.
