Castroia kamariae sp. nov. and Limatulum kuziai sp. nov. (Lecithodendriidae) from the free-tailed bat (Tadarida mops de Blainville) from West Malaysia.
Thirteen bats, Tadarida mops de Blainville, collected from the Ampang district in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, were found positive for the trematodes Castroia kamariae sp. nov. and Limatulum kuziai sp. nov. Two distinct but morphologically similar forms of Castroia kamariae were recovered. The morphological type is apparently determined by its location in the host intestine.
