From Freshwater Fish Channa marulius (Hamilton 1822) from Godavari Basin (M.S), India A.M. Fartade and S.N. Borde Department of Zoology, Dr. B.A.M. University, Aurangabad, India Abstract: The present communication deals with the description of a new species of genus Circumoncobothrium maruliusae Sp. Nov. from freshwater fish Channa marulius from Godavari basin provided new data on their morphology. The present form differ from the known species of the genus in the shape and size of the scolex, number of hooks and arrangement of rostellum, shape of segment, number of testes, position of cirrus pouch and arrangement of vitellaria.

The Shinde and Kalse [9] from Ophiocephalus punctatus. entire digestive system was removed and placed in a Petri Shinde et al. [10] described C. mastacembalusae as a new dish with physiological saline. Infection of each group of species from Mastacembelus armatus. Pawar [11] reported parasites was treated as follows: collected parasites were C. armatusae (minor) from Mastacembelus armatus to first relaxed and then fixed in hot 4% formalin and stain this genus. Tat and Jadhav [12] reported C. manjari from using Harris haematoxyline. Stained parasites were Ophiocephalus gachua. Supugade [13] added C. washed in distilled water, dehydrated in ascending grades vitellariensis from Mastacembelus armatus. Kharade of alcohol, cleared in xylene, mounted in D.P.X. Drawings et al. [14] added C. cirrihinae from Cirrihina mrigala. were made using a camera Lucida. Shelke [15] added C. mehdii from Mastacembelus armatus. Pardeshi et al.
