Abstract:
A restudy of Miss Wertheim's material of her species Rajotaenia gerbilli revealed that a cirrus pouch is present and that the uterus does not form an inter-communicating canal system. The branched nature of the excretory system is confirmed. These findings support the view that the genus Rajotaenia must be considered a synonym of the genus Catenotaenia. Consequently Yamaguti's subfamily Rajotaeniinae cannot be retained.
