Extract

Little is known about the trematode fauna of India. Hitherto no species has been described from an Indian tortoise except Polystomum kachugae Stewart. In the present paper I describe a new genus Spinometra from a tortoise, and in the systematic account of the family Lepodermatidae I include new observations on other genera which I have studied and which I shall describe in subsequent papers.
