Abstract

Spirura hipposidcrosi n.sp. from the stomach of Hipposideros ruber resembles S. diplocyphos but differs in the head structure, the shape and size of the spicules, the position of the vulva and the presence of a tuft of spines in the male tail. Spirura nycterisi n.sp. from Nycteris thebaica and Hipposideros ruber resembles S. spinicaudata but differs in the presence of a membrane round the posterior half of the left spicule, the presence of a tuft of spines at the tip of the male tail, the position of the vulva and the size of the eggs. A key to the African species of Spirura is given.
