Summary  Dilepidid cestode Fuhrmanolepis dubinskyi n. sp. from woodcock, Scolopax rusticola L. in Slovakia is described on the basis of light microscope observations. The new taxon is characterised by medium sized strobila, single crown of ten, 47–53 μm long “diorchid” (wrench-shaped) rostellar hooks. Genital pores alternate irregularly. Number of testes is 20–30 and measurements of cirrus-sac and evaginated cirrus reach 176 − 217 × 18 − 31 and 38 − 56 × 16 − 21 μm, respectively. The uterus is reticular and eggs possess spiny embryophore. F. dubinskyi is differentiated from closely related congeneric species and some other morphologically similar dilepidids.
