A radioinduced variant of a cestode, which by inheritance is a member of the common species, Hymenolepid diminuta, but by structure is unique, differing in one respect, its 2-hooked oncospheres, from all other members of the species, is described. Also, the mutant form was smaller and more slender than the normal and had relatively longer and fewer proglottids and fewer eggs. The chromosomes differed from normal chromosomes in morphology but not in number, there being evidence of translocation of chromosomal segments. The mutant form is considered an example of a genetically significant anomaly, potentially a taxonomic problem. (P.C.H.)
