Differential diagnosis: Strongylacantha glycirrhiza van Bene­den, 1873; S. pretoriensis Ortlepp, 1932; S. rhinolophi Yama­guti, 1935, were the three species of the genus Strongylacantha van Beneden, 1873, so far. S. longicaudata sp . n. differs from S. glycirrhiza and S. pretoriensis in the position of the ex­cretory pore. This structure is situated at half length of the esophagus and beyond the nerve ring in the newly described spe­cies, whilst just behind the mouth-opening in the other two. S. longicaudata sp . n . is shorter, with shorter spicules and gubernaculum, and a longer tail of the female as compared to those of S. glycirrhiza and S. pretoriensis . S. longicaudata sp. n. differs from S . rhinolophi in the shape of the hook-like teeth. There is no conspicuous bulge at the base of teeth of the new species. S . Iongi c audat a sp . n. is smaller, its bursa copulatrix with markedly finer externo-lateral rays as compared with the other lateral rays, the former not extending to the edge of the bursa.The medio-lateral rays are the most developed among the lateral ones. The latter are nearly equally developed and reach the margin of the bursa in S. rhinolophi . The tail of females of the new species is nearly twice as long as that of S. rhinolophi . The two subventral processes of the tail end are almost indiscernible (not so in S. rhinolophi) . The holotype and paratypes: register No . V/79, are deposited in the Parasitological Collection of the Hungarian Natural His­tory Museum,Bud apest . Type locality Muong Son (Yen Bai region), host: Rhinolophus affinis , date: 7. Dec. 1971, collectors: Dr. I. MATSKÁSI and Dr. Gy. TOPÁL. Trichostrongylidae Leiper, 1912 3- Molinostrongylus alatus (Ortlepp, 1932) Host: Myotis chinensis (Sapa District, Ta-phinh) Localization: small intestine. One male and three females Were collected from one host speci­men . 154
