description: <i>Arostrilepis horrida</i> (von Linstow, 1901) <i>s.l.</i> In the present material, <i>Arostrilepis horrida</i> -like cestodes occurred commonly in all <i>Microtus</i> and <i>Myodes</i> species and accidentally in <i>C. barabensis</i> but were absent in <i>A. peninsulae</i>. The data of Zhaltsanova (1992) show an equally wide host spectrum for <i>Arostrilepis horrida</i> -like cestodes in Buryatia. Three species have been described within the <i>A. horrida</i> -complex, i.e. <i>A. horrida</i> from an unknown rodent host, <i>A. beringiensis</i> Kontrimavichus &amp; Smirnova, 1991 from <i>Lemmus sibiricus</i> and <i>A. microtis</i> Gulyaev &amp; Chechulin, 1997 from <i>Microtus</i> spp. (see Kontrimavichus and Smirnova 1991 and Gulyaev and Chechulin 1997). However, applying molecular methods, the BCP has demonstrated a complex of at least 10 species of <i>A. horrida</i> -like cestodes that are poorly differentiated morphologically (Cook et al. 2005, and K. Galbreath and E. P. Hoberg, unpublished). For example, there may be five <i>Arostrilepis</i> -species in <i>Myodes</i> spp. (species previously assigned to <i>Clethrionomys</i>) and two species in <i>Microtus</i> spp. in the Holarctic region. The situation is complicated by the fact that it is not known which one (if any) of them is the true <i>A. horrida</i>. Therefore, it is not possible to assign the present specimens to a particular species of <i>Arostrilepis</i>. However, it is probable that the Buryatian material includes at least one undescribed species, i.e. that/those occurring in <i>Myodes</i> spp. Voucher specimens: MSB Endo 159 from <i>Microtus fortis</i> (Kamensk), MSB Endo 160 from <i>M. oeconomus</i> (Nizhnaya Ivolga), MSB Endo 161 from <i>Myodes rufocanus</i> (Kamensk), MSB Endo 162 from <i>Myodes rutilus</i> (Muhorshibir).
