Extract

The genus Orientodiscus was proposed by Srivastava (1938) for O. jumnai and O. lobatus from a freshwater fish, Silundia gangeticus from India. Recently, Rhode (1963) added O. fernandoi and O. hendricksoni from freshwater turtles, Trionyx spp., from Malaysia. A large number of trematodes belonging to Orientodiscus were collected from freshwater turtles in Aligarh, India. They represent three new species.
