 ABSTRACT

During studies on larval trematode of freshwater fishes of U.P. and its adjacent state, the author success to collect some new species of strigeid metacercariae, belonging to genus Tetracotyle Faust, 1918 and Neascus Hughes, 1927, are characterized on the basis of shape, structure, and place and position of esophagus, intestinal caeca, holdfast organ, hold fast gland and number of genital rudiments from Mastacembelus puncalus (Ham.) Colisa fasciatus (Bl. & Schn.) and Xenentodon cancilla and named Tetracotyle allahabadensis, Tetracotyle saiensis and Neascus khurramnagarensis as a new species from different location of U.P. and its adjacent state.

Keywords: Metacercaria, Neascus, Tetracotyle, Strigeids, Trematode.
