Remarks The nomenclatural dispute about M. grisea (Beneden, 187 3) Tenora et Barus, 1960, was described in a report by TENORA and BARUS (1960). The present writer agrees with the position stated by these authors. The species name has been regularly used by European authors since its original description, only the generic name was occasionally altered according to the actual state of knowledge. Quite recently Russian authors (ANDREIKO and SKVORTZOV, 1967; ANDREIKO et al., 1969a) have also agreed with the re-classification of the species Hymenolepis grisea into the genus Myotolepis Spassky, 1954, but do not agree with the opinion of TENORA and BARUS (1960) that M. crimensis (Skarbilovitsch, 1964) Spassky, 1954, were a synonym of M. grisea (Beneden, 1873). The present writer had no opportunity to study either the specimens available in the USSR, or the type-specimen of M. crimensis . Her opinion that the dimensions of M. crimensis easily fit in with the range of measurements of M. grisea is based on the examination of approx. 1500 specimens of the latter species, recovered from five host species in 26 habitats in Hungary, and on comparative examinations on the specimens recovered from Rhinolophus ferrumequinum in France (JOYEUX's collection). M. grisea is widely spread in palaearctic bats. Hosts: Eptesicus serotinus, Vespertilio murinus, Myotis myotis, M. blythi oxygnathus, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum (BENEDEN, 1873; STILES and NOLAN, 1931; JOYEUX and BAER, 1936; SOLTYS, 1959; TENORA and BARUS, 1960; MITUCH, 1964; TIMON-DAVID, 1964; ANDREIKO and SKVORTZOV, 1967). In Myotis nattereri M. grisea was found for the first time during the recent examinations in Hungary. VAMPIROLEPIS Spassky, 1954 Vampirolepis balsaci (Joyeux et Baer, 1934) Spassky, 1954 Host in Hungary: Myotis myotis. - Localization: small intestine. - Habitat: Cave Csörgőlyuk, Mátra Mountains; 6th March 1976. - Only a single destrobilated specimen was found.
