Subscribe/Renew Journal
The present investigation deals with a new species of the genus Cotugnia, Diamare 1893 from the intestine of Gallus gallus domesticus, from Nanded (M.S.) of India. The new species Cotugnia diamarei Sp.Nov. comes closer to all known species of the genus Cotugnia in general topography of organ but differs due to scolex large, quadrangular, suckers four, oval to rounded, arranged in four corners, rostellum oval, large, placed in anterior region of scolex and having rostellar ring, rostellar hooks 53-55 in numbers, 'V' shaped, arranged in a single circle, neck short, mature progloltids three times broader than long, testes 62 in numbers, oval to rounded, postovarian, cirrus pouch cylindrical, cirrus short, curved tube contained within cirrus pouch, vas deferens thin, curved, vagina posterior to cirrus pouch and ovary bilobed.
