Females: body length 5.70-6.90 mm, maximum width 0.20-0.23 mm. Cuticular swelling of head 0.052-0.062 x 0.055-0.068 mm. Eso­phagus length 0.40-0.50 mm. Distance between excretory pore, as well as that of nerve ring and anterior end, 0.14-0.17 mm. Dei­rids not detectable . Vulva opening at 1.70 mm from posterior end. Tail length O.O56-O.O8O mm. Tail tip with three conical (one dorsal and two subventral) and two small, lateral proces­ses, and with a terminal spike (Figs. 5g,h). Eggs 0.095-0.10 x O.O5O-O.O53 mm. The species was described as a parasite of ? Miniopterus sp . from Australia by BAYLIS in 1930. It was found by THOMAS, in 1959, in Miniopterus blepotis, also from Australia. Contrary to the description by BAYLIS, the medio-lateral rays of the bursa are thicker than the postero-lateral ones, and the gubernaculum is well chitinized in our specimens. However, these differences seem to be insufficient for establishing a new taxon. Seuratidae Railliet, 1916 6. Seuratum sp . Host: Myotis chinensis (Yen Bai, Yu-do) Localization: small intestine. One injured mala specimen found. Description: cuticular surface of body with transverse rings, and numerous longitudinal lines consisting of minute spines. Lines extending from region of nerve ring nearly to anus . Body length 3.I5 mm, esophagus length 0.39 mm. Nerve ring situated at 0.12 mm, excretory pore at 0.20 mm from anterior end. Spicu­les 0.088 mm long. Gubernaculum not suitable for taking measu­rements. Tail length 0.13 mm. Papillae on tail arranged nearly as described for S . mucronatum (Rud., 1809) by others (BI0CCA ­CHABAUD, 1951). 161
