Abstract: Various sediment samples were collected from the edge of water bodies located in India to determine the diversity of aquatic nematodes. During the screening of sediment samples collected from Loktak Lake (a Ramsar Site) and an estuary located in Vishakhapatnam a large number of nematodes were found. Of them, a new and a known species of the genus Chronogaster Cobb, 1913 were also collected. Chronogaster loktakensis sp. nov. is characterised by the presence of vacuolated bodies, crystalloids, faint longitudinal lines, 7-10 µm long cephalic setae, 16-28 µm long radial tubule arising from the base of stoma and tail with a terminal stout mucro surrounded by three spines. While, Chronogaster citri Khan & Nanjappa, 1973 is being reported with a difference found in the shape of stoma with additional information on body annules, presence of crystalloid and vacuolated bodies. A key to identification of Indian species has also been provided. |

Abstract: Manuscript reports diversity of freshwater bryozoans from the Daunapur water Project. The species are identified with the help of colony morphology and SEM photographs of statoblasts, the resting bodies. In this study, incidence of Asajirella gelatinosa (Oka), Hyalinella minuta (Toriumi), Hyalinella lendenfeldi (Ridley), Lophopodella carteri (Hyatt) and Plumatella bombayensis (Annandale) are recorded. This is the first record of Hyalinella minuta from Maharashtra state. |
