Abstract
A new hemiurid trematode is described here parasitizing the intestine of the fish Otolithus argenteus of Karachi coast. Qadriana otolithi n.sp., is the third species of the genus Qadriana Bilqees, 1971. It is compared with previous species and is regarded new due to morphometric variations in the diagnostic features. Main differences are in the position of seminal vesicle, genital opening, ovary and vitellaria.
