[The finding of a cestode in the little auk Alle alle on Franz Josef Land].
One of 14 dovekeys (Alle alle) investigated in August 1993 on Hooker Island (Franz Joseph Land) was found to harbour a single specimen of an early immature dilepidid cestode attributed as Alcataenia sp. The rostellum bears a double crown of 22 hooks, 0.025-0.027 mm in length. Except Threlfall (1971) there was no information concerning dovekey's parasites.
