Nomimoscolex touzeti n. sp., holotype - Fig. 1: scolex. Figs 2, 3: eggs mounted in water. Fig. 4: transverse section in posterior part of a gravif proglottid. Eggs in uterus are not figured. Fig. 5: transverse section in ovary area of a gravid proglottid. Scale-bar: 1 = 250 µm; 2, 3 = 50 µm; 4, 5 = 500 µm. Abbreviations: eb = embryophore; ec = egg clusters; ed = dorsal excretory canal; em = external membrane; ev = ventral excretory canal; im = intermediate membrane; lm = internal longitudinal musculature; ln = longitudinal lateral nerve; mg = Mehlis gland; oc = oocapt; od = oviduct; on = oncosphere; ov = ovary; rs = seminal receptacle; te = testes; ub = uterine branches; ud = uteroduct; us = uterine stem; vc = vaginal canal; vd = vitelloduct; vu = vitellaria; vt = vitelline cell. Fig. 6: mature proglottid, ventral view. Scale-bar = 500 µm. Fig. 7: gravid proglottid, ventral view. Eggs in uterus and ventral excretory canal are not figured. Scale-bar = 500 µm.
