Forty-seven European bat lyssaviruses (EBL) and two African insectivorous bat lyssaviruses (Duvenhage viruses) were selected for a comparison to be made of their evolutionary relationships. Studies were based on direct sequencing of the PCR-amplified products of the 400 nucleotides coding for the amino terminus of the nucleoprotein. Phylogenetic relationships were analysed after bootstrap resampling using the maximum parsimony and the neighbour-joining methods. Analyses of both the nucleotide and amino acid sequences placed these viruses in three separate clusters, namely genotype 4 (Duvenhage), genotype 5 (EBL1) and genotype 6 (EBL2). Evolutionary

Abstract. The community composition and structure of helminths of Pipistrellus pipistrellus (Schreber, 1774) from two widely separated Spanish localities, El Saler (n = 42) and the San Pedro pothole (n = 34), were determined and compared. Five species of trematodes, Plagiorchis (Plagiorchis) sp., Lecithodendrium (Lecithodendrium) linstowi Dollfus, 1931, Prosthodendrium (Prosthodendrium) sp., Pycnoporus heteroporus (Dujardin, 1845) and Parabascus semisquamosus (Braun, 1900), and one species of cestode, Hymenolepis pipistrelli López-Neyra, 1941, were found. The two bat populations harboured the same helminth species and showed the same trematode dominance, but the most important differences between the two helminth community structures were attributable to L. (L.) linstowi and H. pipistrelli. The mean species richness in the two localities was not significantly different. The mean number of helminth species per infected bat, mean infracommunity abundance and mean infracommunity diversity showed significant differences between both localities. The number of helminths per bat in both populations displayed an aggregated distribution. Results indicate that the different characteristics of the P. pipistrellus foraging area in both localities are important in determining the composition and structure of helminth communities in this bat species. This is the first study of a Palaearctic bat helminth community.

NUEVAS CITAS Y COMENTARIOS FAUNÍSTICOS SOBRE LOS QUIRÓPTEROS DE RESUMENSe aportan 92 citas quiropterológicas nuevas a las 110 menciones bibliográficas existentes hasta la actualidad, ampliándose así a 202 el total de referencias concretas conocidas en la Comunidad Valenciana. Igualmente, se cita por primera vez a Rhinolophus mehelyi, Myotis daubentoni y Myotis emarginatus, incrementándose el listado de especies de murciélagos valencianos a 19. Cabe añadir que 39 de las localidades citadas son nuevas. Se ha calculado la densidad de prospección, obteniéndose un valor de 8.67 citas/1000 km 2 , resultado todavía bajo para considerar el país aceptablemente prospectado. La especie con mayor frecuencia es Rhinolophus ferrum-equinum seguida de Miniopterus schreibersi, sin embargo a nivel poblacional tiene mayor importancia M. schreibersi. Desde un punto de vista biogeográfico, predominan relativamente las especies mediterrá-neas del norte, seguidas de las mediterráneas del sur y las de origen tropical y subtropical. No obstante, si se analiza la fauna quiropterológica en cuanto a la abundancia, los grupos que presentan mayor biomasa son las mediterráneas del sur y las de origen tropical y subtropical, caracterís-tica que concuerda con el clima de la región estudiada.Palabras clave: Quirópteros. Corología. Biogeografía. Comunidad Valenciana. SUMMARYThe work adds new records of bats to the 110 already in the literature, therefore enlarging to 202 the number of concrete references known at present in the Comunidad Valenciana. This is the first mentioned evidence of Myotis daubentoni, Myotis emarginatus and Rhinolophus mehelyi, increasing to 19 the list of species of valencian bats. Of all localities visited, 39 were unreported to date. The prospection intensity has reached 8.67 records/1000 km 2 , valué lower than necessary to consider the territory as acceptably investigated. On the other hand, the fauna variety (
