is spinose. The flukes of the first group are relegable morpho­logically to PANDE' s type, but on the basis of the measure­ments the second group stay nearer to the type described by Pande. The exemplars assignable to the first group were dissec­ted from several bat species, whereas the specimens of the se­cond group parasitized two Rhinolophid species only. MACY (1964) discovered and described a new trematode species under the name Pycnoporus ramsesi sp . n., from Pipistrellus ruppeli in Egypt. On the basis of the description, the measure­ments and the figures, this species is to be regarded as a ju­nior synonym of Prosthodendrium loossi (Pande, 1935). Prosthodendrium robustum sp . n. - (Pigs. 5, 13, 14) Host: Myotis muricola (Gh.) - Localization: intestinum, Inten­sity: 2 exemplars. Measurements (in^u): Body length: 800-1000; greatest width: 592-730; oral sucker: 128 x 89 and 132 x 115; ventral sucker: 96 x 128 and 208 x 192; left testis: I6O x 102 and 192 x 176; right testis: 160x112 and 256 x 176; ovary: 138 x 99 and I60 x 160; prostatic complex: 224 x 179 and 198 x I4O; eggs: 19-22 x 9-12 . Diagnosis: A medium-sized trematode with pyriform body. Integu­ment spinose. Oral sucker subterminal . Oesophagus absent. Caeca extending to testes. Pharynx well developed. Sphaerical testes lying behind acetabulum. (Pig. 14 shows a contracted specimen, therefore the position of the organs is not natural .)Large pro­static complex situated dorsal from acetabulum, its oral part extending into intercaecal area. Genital pore preacetabular . Ovary postaçetabular . Ovary rounded, smaller than testes, lo­cated postacetabularly , lateral .Vitellaria composed of numerous follicles, situated between acetabulum and prostatic complex. Uterus very well developed, of numerous whorls, occupying cau­dal portion of body. Differential diagnosis: Prosibodenarium robustum differs from all other congeners principially by/its large vitellary
