- Australophiotaenia sp. 5 Host. Eastern brown snake, Pseudonaja textilis (Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854) (Ophidia: Elapidae). Distribution. Australia (Western Australia). ......continued on the next page Abbreviations: OV = percentage of the width of the ovary versus the width of the proglottid; PC = percent of the length of the cirrus-sac to the width of the proglottid; PP = position of the genital pore (cirrus pore) as the % of the proglottid length; SL = Supplementary layer of the eggs Material studied. One fragmented specimen with scolex (12 whole mounts slides), from Walpeup, Victoria (35°8'10''S 142°1'30''E), 28.11.1985, D.M. Spratt (ANWC-C525) Remarks. This species likely represents a new taxon but the material available is fragmented which prevents us describing this taxon formally. It is characterised by a small scolex, 345 width, with a large apical organ, 130 in diameter, by a small ratio of the length of cirrus-sac versus width of the proglottid (13–18%), and by the presence of a third embryophore layer (See Table 2).
