Extract

1. A new genus of a spiruroid nematode belonging to the family Thelaziidae is described from the liver of a marine fish, Chorinemus tala from Karachi, Pakistan. The genus is based on the structure of the head, the presence of body papillae, the peculiar female reproductive system, the position of the vulva etc. This is the first record of a nematode from the liver of a fish.

2. The genus Filochona (Saidov, 1954) Yamaguti, 1961 is synonymised with Rhabdochona and the subfamily Filochoninae Yamaguti, 1961 is suppressed.
