Abstract:
A new nematode, Diplotriaena murtazi n.sp., was recorded from the body cavity of common myna Acridotheres tristis of District Larkana, Sindh, Pakistan. In all, 20 nematodes (??) were recorded. Present nematode reflects diversification from their congeners in the following charaters viz: body measurement; shape; size and shape of trident; shape of spicules and presence of 13-14 pairs of caudal papillae. On the basis of such morpho-metrical changes this species; Diplotriaena murtazi treated as a new species. This species is dedicated to author's father Advocate Ghulam Murtaza Soomro.
