Abstract:

This work describes a new species of genus Neoechinorhynchus Stiles and Hassall, 1905, a parasite found in turtles, marine and freshwater fish. This species reported from the fish (Mugil cephalus Linn., 1758) is different from all the previously described species in a combination of characters such as having a bilobed anterior testis, besides body size, hooks, and reproductive system. This species is most closely related to N. nematolosi Tripathi, 1956 in having testes unequal, body size and shape similar to present species but differs from the present species in having smaller proboscis receptacle, very long lemnisci with swollen ends and has posterior testis larger as compared to anterior testis. The present work contributes to increase in knowledge of the biodiversity of fish parasites in marine fish Mugil cephalus (Linn., 1758).
