Extract

Recent collections of helminths from the clariid catfish, Clarias batrachus (L.) in India and Malaysia have included Bovienia serialis (Bovien), a species originally described by Bovien (1926) from a single whole specimen and fragments of others. The generic diagnosis formulated many years later by Yamaguti (1959) and based indirectly on one of these fragments has inevitably led to some confusion regarding the characters of the genus. With the collection of new material it is now possible to emend the generic diagnosis and redescribe the species.
