Extract

While working on the life cycle of Cercaria mehrai Faruqui, 1930, the author obtained the adults from the intestine of experimentally infected white rats. The trematodes thus obtained were reported as belonging to the genus Paryphostomum Dietz, 1909. In view of the facts that the collar spines are 43 in number, the vitellaria are confluent in the post-testicular region and the cirrus-sac extends far behind the acetabulum, P. mehrai is transferred to the genus Artyfechinostomum Lane, 1915, which is, in author's opinion, a valid genus (Jain, 1959).
