Seven new species of Myxosporidia (Myxozoa : Myxosporea), Zschokkella channae sp. n. from the kidney tubule of Channa punctatus (Ham.) and Zschokkella 'cirrhinae sp. n., Myxidium menodae sp. n., Myxidium alluum sp. n., Sphaeromyxa diacanthusa sp. n., Sphaeromyxa chacundae sp. n., and Ceratomyxa nengae sp. n. from tlie gall bladders of Aorichthys menoda menoda (Sykes), Wa//ago attu (Schn.), Protonebia diacunthus (Lacepede), Anodontosioma chacunda (Ham-Buch.) and Tashysurus nenga (Ham.) respectively have been described in this communique. These new species have been compared with their related species to establish their distinctiveness.

Abstract


Seven new species of Myxosporidia (Myxozoa : Myxosporea), Zschokkella channae sp. n. from the kidney tubule of Channa punctatus (Ham.) and Zschokkella 'cirrhinae sp. n., Myxidium menodae sp. n., Myxidium alluum sp. n., Sphaeromyxa diacanthusa sp. n., Sphaeromyxa chacundae sp. n., and Ceratomyxa nengae sp. n. from tlie gall bladders of Aorichthys menoda menoda (Sykes), Wa//ago attu (Schn.), Protonebia diacunthus (Lacepede), Anodontosioma chacunda (Ham-Buch.) and Tashysurus nenga (Ham.) respectively have been described in this communique. These new species have been compared with their related species to establish their distinctiveness.
