Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 November 2009
Extract
1. A new species, Ganeo bufonis, from a toad, Bufo viridis, in Kashmir, is described. This is the first species of the genus recorded from a toad; it differs from the known species in having both the vitelline glands confined to one side. The uterine coils do not extend into the post-caecal area; the excretory bladder is without any median stem and the metraterm is present.
2. Ganeo tigrinum Mehra and Negi, 1928 is also recorded for the first time from Bufo viridis. Ganeo kumaonensis Pande, 1937 and Ganeo lingnanensis Li, 1938 are both regarded as synonyms of Ganeo tigrinum.
3. A revised generic diagnosis and a key to the species of the genus Ganeo Klein, 1905 are given.
