les lying between pharynx and ventral sucker. Two vitelline ducts joining behind ventral sucker. Differential diagnosis: The most characteristical feature of Parabascus ghati sp . n . is the irregularly shaped, lobed ovary, situated preacetabularly. This species differs from all other congeners by its well developed, rounded cirrussac, and relatively short caeca. A further specific feature is the fairly equal length of the longitudinal and transversal axes. Holotype : slide I/213a (Locality: Ellora Caves; Date of collecting* 16 August, 1967; coll.: Gy. TOPÁL) deposited in the Parasitological Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Paratypes : slide I/213b deposited as above. Suming up the results described in the present paper,from 22 trematode species collected by Gy . TOPÁL in India, 13 species were found to be new for the Indian trematode fauna: PI agiorchis vespertilionis (Müller, 1784), Neoheterophyes brevicorpus Matskási, 1973, H . topali sp . n., Prosthodendrium chilostomum (Mehlis, 1831), P. ascidia (van Beneden, 1873), P. parvouterus (Bhalerao, 1926), P. minor Groschaft et Tenora, 1971 , P. bra- chyurna Groschaft et Tenora, 1971, P. robustum sp . n., Prostho dendrium sp ., Pycnoporus macrolaimus (Linstow, 1894), Renschetrema malayi Rohde, 1964, Parabascus ghati sp . n. Although comparatively few bats have on this occasion been examined parasitologically , it can be established that the trematode fauna parasitizing bats in the Himalaya differs from that of all other localities. The trematode species occurring in the Himalaya - Maxbraunium baerj . Renschetrema malayi , Neoheterophyes brevicorpus - occur in high mountains in Vietnam and in Malaysia .
