A new genus, Viscachataenia, is erected to accommodate the anoplocephalid cestode Cittotaenia quadrata von Linstow, 1904, based on a redescription of the species from material collected from the chinchillid rodent Lagidium viscacia in Argentina. The new genus is characterised by paired genitalia, a reticulate uterus and the vagina entering the genital atrium anterior to the cirrus-sac. Viscachataenia therefore has similarities with Monoecocestus Beddard, 1914, a genus which is common in South American rodents but which has a single set of genitalia in each segment. Cittotaenia viscaciae (Spasskii, 1951) and Bertiella findlayi Mazza, Parodi & Fiora, 1932, also from viscachas, are considered synonyms of V. quadrata.
