The species marked by * is a host new for the parasite. Parabascus lepidotus Looss, 1907 (Fig. 14) Hosts : Eptesicus serotinus, Nyctalus noctula, Pipistrellus pipistrellus, Pipistrellus icuhli, Miniopterus schreibersi. Distribution: Egypt, Czechoslovakia. A small-sized Trematode, tapering toward the oral sucker but widening toward its rounded caudal end. Length of body 0.600—0.995 mm, width of body 0.375— 0.475 mm. Cuticle densely and finely spinose on anterior part of body. Oral sucker round, subterminal, 0.060—0.070x0.060—0.075 mm. Pharynx robust, largely rounded, 0.020—0.035x0.012—0.042 mm. Oesophagus relatively long, bifurcating into two lateral caeca advancing caudad. Ventral sucker larger than oral sucker, 0.075—0.112x0.075—0.127 mm, round, occupying area between caeca. Two oval testes lving symmetrically behind ventral sucker, mostly covered by uterus ; right testis 0.142-0.150x0.100-0.112 mm, left testis 0.133-0.175x0.110-0.120 mm. Curved cirrus pouch lying between ventral sucker and left testis; genital pore opening behind ventral sucker. Round or oval ovarium situated on right side of ventral sucker, 0.085—0.100x0.175—0.085 mm, smaller than testes. Vitellaria composed of numerous follicles, forming two groups and stretching over a wide zone on area of caecal bifurcation anteriorly of ventral sucker. Uteral whorls, filled with eggs, occupying area behind ventral sucker ; eggs dark yellow, 0.020-0.022x0.010-0.015 mm. My material comprises 13 specimens, deriving from the following hosts and localities : Fig. 14. Parabasals lepidotus Looss, 1907; Fig. 15. Moedlingeria amphoraeformis (MÖDLINGEB, 1930)
