Abstract

During surveys of the trichodinid parasites in freshwater and estuarine fishes in Chittagong Division, Bangladesh four new species of the genus Trichodina were investigated and morphologically studied. These are: Trichodina aplocheilusi sp. n. from Aplocheilus panchax, Trichodina chittagongensis sp.n. from Labeo bata, Trichodina kaptaiensis sp. n. from Chanda nama and Trichodina siddiquae sp. n. from Heteropneustes fossilis. Taxonomic and morphometric data for these trichodinids based on wet silver nitrate impregnated specimens are presented.
