Abstract
The stomach of the freshwater snakehead murrel Channa striata n = 250 collected from fresh water habitats of Bareilly Uttar Pradesh India revealed Allogenarchopsis a trematode parasite Plagiorchiida Derogenidae An illustrated account of light Olympus BX53 with Cellsens software imaging system and scanning electron microscopy SEM Neo JCM6000 of Allogenarchopsis bareilliensis n sp prevalence 37 intensity 1–4 par/host is provided Light microscopy based studies warranting creation of a new species are the robust shape of the body with broad midbody blunt anterior and tapering posterior end large ventral sucker ratio of oral sucker ventral sucker 135 pharynx broader than long egg size small with relatively short egg filament excretory vesicle Ushaped bifurcating at posterior end and terminating above intestinal shoulders Key characteristics of the tegumental microtopography by SEM are 1 an aspinous tegument with a variety of papillae of different shapes buttonlike domeshaped distributed randomly on the dorsal and ventral surface 2 oral sucker and oral cavity muscular with fringed margins and morphologically different oral papillae 3 lip of ventral sucker papillated including two unequally spaced rows of papillae with sensory receptacles interspersed in between 4 unique differentially texturized cytoplasmic processes on the ventral sucker and 5 body folds grooved gradually becoming narrower towards posterior end This is the first record and study on Allogenarchopsis from Channa of Rohilkhand India using electron optics We recommend that the newly recognized morphological features as revealed by light microscopy and SEM be utilized as taxonomic tools in future for the identification of the speciesThis work was supported by the Government of Uttar Pradesh Lucknow India under the “Centre of Excellence” sanction orders no 138/70420114632/2009 and 150/70420124643/2010 who provided financial assistance to the first author for conducting research on parasitefauna of fishes of Rohilkhand
