Ascometra choriotidis n. sp. and Ascometra scheuermani n. sp. are described from a Kori Bustard, Choriotis kori (Burchell) (Gruiformes: Otididae), captured in Kenya. The 2 species are distinguished from Ascometra gutterae (Baylis, 1914) and Ascometra numida (Fuhrmann, 1909) (formerly placed in the genus Octopetalum Baylis, 1914) by the much larger number of testes in each segment. Ascometra choriotidis differs from Ascometra vestita Kholodkovskii, 1912, in the smaller proportional size of the cirrus sac, which extends mediad across less than half the space between the margin of the segment and poral ventral longitudinal excretory canal. From A. vestita and A. choriotidis, A. scheuermani is distinguished by its much longer cirrus sac. The findings support the earlier conclusion of Baer (1955) that Octopetalum Baylis, 1914 is a synonym of Ascometra Kholodkovskii, 1912. The genus Ascometra Kholodkovskii, 1912, was established for a cestode from the Houbara Bustard, Chlamydotis undulata (Jaqu.) (Grui- formes: Otididae), in southern Kazakhstan. In his revision of the subfamily Idiogeninae Fuhr- mann, 1907, Baer (1955) placed the genus Oc- topetalum Baylis, 1914, established for a cestode from a guinea fowl in Africa, in synonymy with Ascometra. More recently, Matevosian and Movsesian (1970) presented evidence that these genera are distinct. According to their interpre- tation, the genus Ascometra would include not more than 2 species, Ascometra vestita Kholod- kovskii, 1912 (type of the genus), and Ascometra baeri Matevosian and Movsesian, 1970, provis. The latter, from C. undulata in Africa, had been identified by Baer (1955) as A. vestita. Two species, both from guinea fowl (Galliformes: Phasianidae), were retained in Octopetalum by
