Vampirolepis macroti Zdzitowiecki & Rutkowska
Site of infection: Small intestine
Host: Bauerus dubiaquercus
Locality: Ejido Adolfo Ruiz Cortines (18°31’53.8” N, 95°08’01.7” W, 1061 MASL), Tuxtlas , Veracruz
Prevalence and intensity: 50% (1/2) and 4
Specimen deposited: CNHE 12135
GenBank accession number: PQ476180
GoogleMapsComments: Based on two incomplete specimens. Scolex 260 in diameter. Suckers unarmed, 100‒108 in diameter. Rostellum broad, 73‒75 in diameter, armed with 28‒29 hooks in single row ( Figure 2C View FIGURE 2 ). Hook length 26‒32. Although no mature proglottids were found, the number and length of hooks observed in the scolex of our specimens conformed to the original description of V. macroti from M. waterhousii in Cuba (vs. 29‒34 hooks of 28‒30 long) ( Zdzitowiecki & Rutkowska 1980).
Vampirolepis macroti has been reported from M. waterhousii in Michoacán ( Luviano-Hernández et al. 2018). This is the second record of V. macroti in bats from Mexico.
