Abstract
An investigation into the reliability of various morphological criteria in differentiating species of Taenia in Australia showed that both the anatomy of the mature proglottis and the gross morphology of the worms were reliable methods if suitably relaxed anf fixed specimens were available. Measurements of rostellar hoods were useful but did not provide unequivocal identification due to overlap in sizes; urine branch numbers were found to be of little use.Keywords
