Abstract
Abstract: Two new dilepidid cestodes parasitic in common landbirds of Ivory Coast are described. Spiniglans thomassankara sp. nov. was found in Ploceus nigerrimus castaneofuscus (Ploceidae) and other Ploceus species along the lagoon system of the South East of the country. It shows characters similar to those of members of both Spiniglans and Dictymetra but lacks a clearly visible ductus masculinus. It is characterized by 24-26 comparatively long hooks and a massive ovary. Monopylidium comoensis sp. nov. was found in Gymnoris dentata (Passeridae) in the Sudanian savanna from the North Eastern corner of the country. It shows 20-22 hooks 13.5-16.5 long, 14-25 testes and a distally enlarged vagina. The unknown parasites richness of very common hosts is underscored.
