Abstract: A new systematic division of cestodes of the suborder Catenotaeniata Spassky, 1963 is presented. The single family Catenotaeniidae Spassky, 1950 belonging to this suborder is divided into two subfamilies: Catenotaeniinae Spassky, 1949 and Skrjabinotaeniinae Genov et Tenora, 1979. The subfamily Catenotaeniinae includes the genera Catenotaenia Janicki, 1904, Hemicatenotaenia (Tenora, 1977) Genov et Tenora, 1979, Pseudocatenotaenia gen. nov. and Quentinotaenia gen. nov. The subfamily Skrjabinotaeniinae comprises the genus Skrjabinotaenia Akhumyan, 1946 and Meggitina Lynsdale, 1953. A hypothesis on the evolution of cestodes of the suborder Catenotaeniata is discussed.Journal: Parasitologia HungaricaJournal abbreviation: ISSN: 0303-688XPublisher: Népművelési Propaganda Iroda, BudapestEditor(s): K.
