Abstract: Two species of the family Dilepididae, Pseudangularia europaea sp. n. and Neoliga sp., and one species of the family Paruterinidae, Notopentorchis iduncula (Spassky, 1946) (new geographical record), are reported from Apus apus collected in East Hungary in the Great Hungarian Plain. P. europaea differs from all the other members of the genus Pseudangularia Burt, 1938, by its considerably larger cirrus-sac. It is also distinguished from the morphologically closest species, P. triplacantha Burt, 1938, by its shorter vagina. The phenomenon of the breaking of the cirrus during the copulation was observed in P. europaea.
