The present investigation deals with taxonomic observation of avian tapeworm of genus Raillietina (R.) rostellata sp. Nov. collected from Gallus gallus domesticus at Ahmedpur, Dist. Latur. It comes closer to all the known species of the genus Raillietina (R.) in general topography of organ but differs due to scolex triangular, well marked from strobilae, rostellum lies at anterior region of scolex with 55-58 hooks, which is arranged in double rows, neck long, testes 30-35 in numbers, scattered throughout the segment, cirrus pouch small, oval, genital pore small, marginal, unilateral, Vagina posterior to cirrus pouch, Ovary bilobed, vitelline gland postovarian and gravid proglottid contains 44-48 egg capsules.
