Morphological variability of trematodes from bats (Chiroptera) is poorly studied. Since the variability of adult digenean specimens may be rather high, morphological features are often insufficient for the identification of closely related species, and confirmation with the use of molecular data is required. The aim of our study was to combine the morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses of several bat trematodes from the genera and (Pleurogenidae): , , , , and , of which and are little known in European Russia. We made detailed morphological descriptions of these trematodes from several definitive hosts, analyzed morphometric features, and generated new partial sequences of the 28S rRNA gene. A broad variability of trematodes of the genera and was revealed both from various host species and from specimens of the same host species. We propose a new taxonomic key for the identification of the studied species. Certain host specificity of these trematodes was revealed.
对蝙蝠（翼手目）体内吸虫的形态变异性研究甚少。由于成年复殖吸虫标本的变异性可能相当高，形态特征往往不足以鉴定近缘物种，因此需要利用分子数据进行确认。我们研究的目的是结合对来自侧殖科（Pleurogenidae）、 属和 属的几种蝙蝠吸虫的形态学和分子系统发育分析： 属、 属、 属、 属和 属，其中 属和 属在俄罗斯欧洲部分鲜为人知。我们对来自多个终末宿主的这些吸虫进行了详细的形态学描述，分析了形态测量特征，并生成了28S rRNA基因的新的部分序列。从不同宿主物种以及同一宿主物种的标本中均发现了 属和 属吸虫的广泛变异性。我们提出了一个用于鉴定所研究物种的新分类检索表。揭示了这些吸虫具有一定的宿主特异性。
