Abstract:

The present communication deals with the study of a monogenean Cornudiscoides proximus Gussev, 1976 collected from the gill filaments of Mystus vittatus (Bloch, 1794) from Hastinapur, U.P., India. Gussev (1976) described this monogenean from the gill filaments of the same host at Lucknow. Agrawal and Vishwakarma (1996) redescribed this species in detail from the type host and locality and added M. tengra, as an additional host. Besides recording the species in a new locality, phylogenetic analysis based on partial 28S rDNA sequence of C. proximus Gussev, 1976 was also conducted, using neighbour joining and maximum parsimony in order to investigate the validity of this species in the genus. Cornudiscoides Kulkarni, 1969.
