Matskási, I.: The systematico-faunistical survey of the trematode fauna of Hungarian bats. I.

Ventral sucker situated preequatorially, generally larger than oral sucker, 0.052 - 0.124x0.052-0.114 mm. Testes oval, postacetabular, left testis nearer to ventral sucker than right one; this latter obliquely behind it but at nearly same level. Left testis 0.156—0.223 x 0.119-0.223 mm, right testis 0.166—0.208x0.104—0.156 mm. Cirrus pouch oval, located between ventral sucker and left testis; genital pore opening on left side of ventral sucker. Cirrrus long, evaginable. Cirrus pouch 0.119—0.176x0.093—0.114 mm. Ovarium slightly smaller than testes, 0.119—0.156x0.114—0.145 mm, rounded or oval, situated postacetabularly on right side of body. Whorls of uterus occupying posterior half of body, its terminal branch advancing between testes to cirrus pouch. Eggs light or dark brown, 0.020—0.010 mm. Vitellaria, constituting a uniform region, filling out area between end of oesophagus and front of ventral sucker. Paired vitellary ducts emitted posteriorad from vitellaria. My material comprises 16 specimens from: * Myotis daubentoni 1, Abaliget Cave, 9 Febr., 1955, 5 spec. ^Miniopterus schreibersi, 1 çf, István Cave, Miskolc, 27 Febr., 1966, 11 spec. Both bat species marked by * are hosts new for this parasite. Parabascus duboisi (HURKOVÁ, 1961) (Fig. 13) Syn.: Distomum limatulum MÖDLINGBE, 1930, nec BRAUN, 1900; Parabascus sp. HURKOVÁ, 1959; Limatulum duboisi HURKOVÁ, 1961. Hosts: Myotis daubentoni, Myotis mystacinus, Myotis dasycneme, Myotis nattereri, Eptesicus serotinus. Distribution: Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, France, Hungary. A medium-sized, lanceolate Trematode, rapidly attenuating toward the caudal end. Length of body 0.847—1.040 mm, width of body 0.426—0.600 mm. Cuticle spinose from oral to ventral suckers. Oral sucker subterminal, 0.065—0.077 x 0.070— 0.080 mm. Pharynx small, oesophagus relatively long, bifurcating into two caeca. These latter advancing initially at right angles toward side of body, then again turning rectangularly toward caudal end of body. Caeca extending beyond testes, approaching terminal end of body. Ventral sucker smaller than oral sucker, 0.062—0.100 x 0.065—0.100 mm. Testes situated slightly diagonally behind ventral sucker, right testis 0.125—0.175 x 0.100— 0.137 mm, left testis 0.140—0.150x0.100—0.125 mm. Well developed cirrus pouch originating postacetabularly and extending on its left side, terminating in a curve anteriorad. Also genital pore situated here, on left side of ventral sucker. Oval ovarium lying on right side of ventral sucker, smaller than testes, 0.085 — 0.133x0.095—0.130 mm. Vitellaria consisting of many minute follicles, extending anteriorly of ventral sucker, between two lateral margins of body. Uterus, forming some whorls, situated in posterior part of body, its branches, extending anteriorad between testes, advancing to genital pore. Eggs yellow, 0.017—0.022x0.012— 0.015 mm. Contrarily to HURKOVÁ'S opinion, it was this species that MODLINGER found in Eptesicus serotinus, collected in Budapest, since he clearly described that the genital pore is on the left side of the ventral sucker (where the cirrus pouch is also to be found).
