Abstract
The present paper deals with the description of a new nematode recovered from a fish-Glyptothorax sp., collected from Moreh, Chandel district of Manipur. The host specimen was collected on September, 2016 from Moreh town, situated at border of India & Myanmar. The present specimen is characterised by 12 longitudinal ridges in the prostome; eggs with a bunch of polar filaments; long, conical with bluntly rounded tipped tail, with a pair of lateral phasmid; left spicule longer, sclerotized, right spicule shorter, boat- shaped, caudal papillae 16 pairs, preanal 8 and postanal 8. All these characters are different from the existing known species; hence it will be justified to give a position as new species, under the genus Rhabdochona.
Keywords:
