Two new species of the cestode parasite, Staphylocystis (Staphylocystis) kathmanduensis sp. nov. and S. (S.) trisuliensis sp. nov. are described from the house shrews, Suncus murinus of Kathmandu and Trisuli, respectively. The former is related to, but different from S. (S. ) delicata Sawada et Koyasu, 1991 in the length and number of the rostellar hooks, and the size of the rostellum. The latter is related to, but different from S. (S. ) dsinezumi Sawada et Koyasu, 1990 in the rostellar hooks. The house shrew, Suncus murinus, one kind of the commensal mammals, are widly distributed in Asia and are found infected with a great number of different cestodes. The difference between the two cestode species infecting Suncus murinus collected respectively at Kathamandu and Trisuli is discussed according to the hosts's behavior patterns.
