Extract

The present study includes five new and three known species of trematodes from marine fishes of India. Records of new hosts and new localities are given. The new species are: Plagioporus longicaudus, Opegaster paramacrorchis, Pseudopecoelina elongata, Pseudopecoeloides scomberi and Hamacreadium leiognathi. The known species are: Podocotyloides parupenei (Manter, 1963) Pritchard, 1966, Hamacreadium mutabile Linton, 1910 and H. krusadaiensis Gupta, 1956. Hamacreadium leiperi Gupta, 1956 is considered a synonym of H. mutabile.

The author wishes to express his gratefulness to Dr Ather H. Siddiqi for his guidance and to Professor H. W. Manter of the University of Nebraska, U.S.A. for his valuable comments. The present study was financially supported by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi.
