Extract

This new species is a rare parasite of the freshwater fish Clarias lazera Cuvier and Valenciennes. Twenty-four fishes from the White Nile and the Blue Nile from Khartoum area in the Sudan were examined from October, 1957 to May, 1958. Only five fishes, all from the White Nile, were found to harbour this new species and each fish contained not more than two worms.
