[Notes to the hare-whipworm Trichuris leporis (Zeder, 1803) (author's transl)]

In this study of the whipworm Trichuris leporis (Zeder, 1803) mistakes, which were made in the literature of this kind in the course of time, have been pointed out and put right. The first that gave this species its name was Zeder and not Froehlich. Trichuris sylvilagi Tiner, 1950 is a synonym of Trichuris leporis (Zeder, 1803). The description of the species Trichuris leporis which was given by Tiner (1905) refers to another species for which the name Trichuris tineri is suggested.
