Abstract

Myotyphlus jansoni (Matthews), previously considered an obligate ectoparasite of Rattus spp., is reported from bat guano in caves at Warrnambool, Victoria and Jenolan, New South Wales. This finding suggests that the genus Myotyphlus (Fauvel), assigned by Seevers to the tribe Amblyopinini, may need to be replaced in the Quediini.
