Extract

Gongylonema thapari n.sp. is described from Gallus sonneratii. Its relationship with the other avian species of the genus Gongylonema is discussed. G. thapari differs essentially from the other species of the genus in having imbricated caudal alae.

G. congolense Fain, 1955 is reported for the first time from India. Structural variations within the species in 3 different avian hosts are noted.
