Hymenolepidid cestodes, six species (including two new) and an unidentified larva of the genus Vampirolepis and two known species of the genus Hymenolepis, are recorded from cave bats taken at various localities in Japan in 1983. Vampirolepis tanegashimensis sp. n. and V. wakasensis sp. n. are described from the large-footed bat, Myotis macrodactylus, of Tanegashima, Kagoshima Prefecture and of Kaminaka-chd, Fukui Prefecture, respectively. V. tanegashimensis most closely resembles V. multihamata Sawada, 1967, but differs from it in longer strobila, larger scolex, longer neck and larger testes. V. wakasensis most closely resembles V. tanegashimensis, but differs from it in longer strobila, longer and more rostellar hooks, and in the morphological features of the ovary (transversely elongated form vs. bilobed form) and the vitelline gland (trilobated form vs. compact form). An unidentified Vampirolepis larva is reported from M. macrodactylus of Tanegashima, Kagoshima Prefecture.
