[A redescription of Hepatocestus hepaticus (Cestoda: Dilepididae) from shrews in western Siberia].
The redescription of the cestoda Hepatocestus hepaticus (Baer, 1932) was made on the original material from the Western Siberia shrews in connection with the first registration this species at shrews within the east palearctic. The analysis of the morphology of the H. hepaticus from the western Siberian populations of shrews hadn't reveal essential morphological distinctions as compared with their western palearctic populations except that we didn't found the uterine capsules in the specimens studied by us. Crocidura sibirica Dukelsky was been registered as the definite host of this cestoda at first.
