Hi,
Correct name is Paroniella urogalli (Modeer, 1790). It was first used by
Movsesyan (1977) in Cestodes of the fauna of the USSR... Davaineata. Nauka,
Moscow. The genus Tetraonetta Spasskaya and Spasskii, 1971 was erected
for this species, but in a Keys to the Cestode Parasites of Vertebrates
(CAB International, 1994) the latter was synonimized with Paroniella.
Good luck
