lanopogon (EH.), Scotophilus temmincki (Ca.); Localization: intestine

. Prosthodendrium ascidia (van Beneden, 1873) - (Pigs. 6 and 8 ) Hosts: Myotis longipes (Bu.), Miniopterus schreibersi (Ma.), Scotozous dormeri (Ja.), Rhinopoma hardwickei (Ud.); Localization: intestine. Measurements in yu: Body length: 510-610; greatest width: 367560; oral sucker: 96-115 x 89-102; testes: 96-183 x 108-144; and 108-153 x 115-128; ovary: 89-121 x 76-115; prostatic complex: 89-115 x 89-153; eggs: 19-24 x 12. BHALERAO (1926b) described this species under the name Lecitho dendrium dinanatum from Burma. In DUBOIS'

s opinion (i960), Lecithodendrium dinanatum Bhalerao, 1926,is the junior synonym of Prosthodendrium ascidia (van Beneden, 1873). Our P. ascidia specimens agree with those described by several European authors (ODEHIHG, 1964, HURK0VÁ, 1963, DUBOIS, I960) and by BHALERAO. There is a remarkable difference between the European and the Asiatic specimens in the position of the ovary.Whereas in European individuals the ovary is praeacetabular

, it is para or postacetabular in Asian materials. Prosthodendrium brachyurna Groschaft et Tenora, 1971 - (Pig.

9 ) Host: Myotis siligorensis (Gh.). Localization: intestine. Measurement in yu: Body length: 558; maximal width: 372; oral sucker: 78 x 78; ventral sucker: 81 x 75; testes: 94 x 69 and 90 x 63} ovary: 95 x 70; eggs: 20-21 x 9-10. Measurements of the second damaged exemplar: oral sucker: 90 x 55; ventral sucker : 75 x 81. GROSCHAFT and TENORA (1971) discovered this species in Myotis longipes collected in Afghanistan. Our specimens differ from the type specimens in having a spinose integument

. Prosthodendrium loossi (Pande, 1935) - (Pigs. 10-12 and 15) Hosts: Megaderma lyra (Ba.), Scotophilus temmincki (Ca.), Taphozous melanopogon (Ud.), Myotis laniger (Che.), Pipistrellus
