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.en© 1962 ARC - Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria (original). © 2016 University of Pretoria.
