Camallanus fotedari n.sp. is described from the intestine of Nemachilus from Kashmir. This is a new host record for the genus. The new species is characterised by the presence of 14–16 pairs of papillae of which 6–8 pairs are precloacal, 2 pairs are adcloacal and 6 pairs are postcloacal. The tail in females is rounded.
