Extract

A list of the genera of the family Caryophyllaeidae known from India is given. Crescentovitus biloculus gen.nov., sp.nov. from the coelom of the siluroid fish, Heteropneustis fossilis, is described and its systematic position discussed. An up-to-date key to the genera of the subfamily Lytocestinae is included.

I desire to express my deep gratitude to Professor M. A. Moghe for his helpful criticism in the preparation of this paper, and to Mr N. A. Shastri, Principal M.M. College of Science, Nagpur, for the kind co-operation extended to me. My thanks are due to Mr S. C. Theophilus, Head of Botany Department, Hislop College, Nagpur for helping me in various ways.
