Abstract: Four species of Molinostrongylus are recorded in bats in Bulgaria: M. alatus in Myotis myotis and M. blythi, M. panousei (= M. ornatus sensu Yanchev and Stoykova 1973) in Miniopterus schreibersi (new geographical record), M. skrjabini in Nyctalus noctula, and M. vespertilionis in Pipistrellus pipistrellus (new geographical record). The species are redescribed and figured. A survey of European Molinostrongylus spp. is presented. A total of 8 nominal species has been recorded in European bats; lists of records, hosts and localities are given for every species. M. tipula is regarded as species inquirenda; M. morosovi is considered nomen nudum. A key to Molinostrongylus spp. in Europe is included.
