Abstract

The present communication describes three new species of myxosporeans (Myxozoa: Myxosporea: Bivalvulida), Myxobilatus odontamblyopusi sp. n., Myxobolus catmrigalae sp. n. and M. buccoroofus sp. n. from Odontamblyopus rubicundus (Hamilton- Buchanan), Catla-Mrigal hybrid carp [male parent fish Catla catla (Hamilton-Buchanan) x female parent fish Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton-Buchanan)] and Labeo bata (Hamilton-Buchanan) of West Bengal, India, respectively. Spores of the new myxobolid species are resolved by LM and SEM.
