teroporus Duj., Brachycoelium crassicolle Rud., and Phaneropsolus 

 sigmoideus Looss are properly separated. 



88) Leciti todendriun I anticum. 



Intes. Vespertilio suhtilis Say (Little Brown Bat). 



New species : anticus^ foremost, in reference to the ovary being in 

 front of the ventral sucker and testes. This species differs from the 

 preceding chiefly in its larger size (1,27 X 0,69) the longer anterior 

 end being conical, the pharynx being more prominent, the coeca 

 longer with irregular walls, the ventral sucker (0,103) being shghtly 

 larger than the oral and situated a little farther back so that the 

 testes are almost in front of it, and especially in the ovary being si- 

 tuated to the right and well in front of the ventral sucker. The 

 ovary is as large or nearly as large as a testis and is pear-shaped, 

 with the big end turned forwards. The vesicula seminalis is large, 

 filling the fork of the intestine. The uterus is much longer, comple- 

 tely distending the heavy, rounded, posterior end, and pressing for- 

 wards between testes and ventral sucker. The eggs are deeper in 

 color and are smaller (0,021 X 0,012). When it occurs with the for- 

 mer species they can be easily distinguished. 



89) Plagiorchis vespertilionis O, F. Müller (= Distomum lima E.ud.). 

 Intes. Vespertilio suhtilis Say (Little Brown Bat). 



Spindle- shaped, 3,30 long by 1,15 greatest breadth. Cuticle thickly 

 set with spines. Oral sucker 0,25 long and slightly narrower, with 

 longitudinal opening. Ventral sucker 0,19, its centre 0,92 from an- 

 terior end. Large j)harynx, oesophagus nearly equal to it in length, 

 coeca to near posterior end. Ovary globular or elliptical, to the right, 

 a little way behind ventral sucker. Testes larger, left and right, the 

 first at an equal distance from ovary and second testis. Penis-sac, 

 containing vesicula seminalis , left from ovary, extending above right 

 side of ventral sucker and bending to left in front, with penis pro- 

 truded to left. Uterus runs back to posterior end and then forwards 

 to genital opening, both parts being broad and bending between 

 ovary and first testis and first and second testes. Eggs brown-shelled, 

 0,04 X 0,02 and a httle under in size. Vitellaria occupying both sides 

 of the body for the full length of the coeca , and overlapping to the 

 centre.
