Abstract

Twenty specimens of Ophiotaenia grandis were found in the intestines of each of 2 cottonmouth water moccasin snakes (Ancistrodon piscivorus) collected in McCurtain Co., Oklahoma. This tapeworm was previously known only from an A. piscivorus of unknown origin which died in the New York Zoological Garden.
