Shipleya inermis, described by Fuhrmann (1908) and redescribed by Baer (1940), is known from only few specimens. The first and only North American record of this species was published by Webster (1951), who reported the finding of 2 specimens in dowitchers. Examination of a large number of cestodes from dowitchers collected by one of us (Rausch), and of cestodes from the Helminthological Collection of the United States National Museum yielded specimens which are without doubt Shipleya inermis. However, some of our observations which are reported here do not agree with Baer's description. In particular, we are unable to agree with Baer (1940) that individuals of S. inermis are hermaphroditic. We are grateful to Mr. Allen McIntosh, Zoological Division, Beltsville, Maryland, for the loan of cestodes from dowitchers; and to Dr. F. N. Hamerstrom, Plainfield, Wisconsin, who collected the dowitcher from Iowa.
