Studie s on Indian Marine Cercariae: Two New Echinostome Cercariae

Geo Mani, K. H. Rao

Abstract

Two new echinostome cercariae parasitizing Cerithidea cingulata Gmelin in India are described. Cercaria bengalensis II sp. n. is characterized by 23 collar spines and primary excretory tubules with lateral branches between the ventral sucker and pharynx. Cercaria bengalensis III sp. n. has 35 collar spines arranged in an uninterrupted semicircle with a gap on the ventral side and primary excretory tubules without lateral branches.
