Extract

Two species of caryophyllids, L. longicollis sp. nov. and L. indicus (Moghe, 1926) were found in the fresh water cat fish, Clarias batrachus (L) (Clariidae) in India. The adult of L. longicollis is described in detail. It differs from all other species of the genus in having a receptaculum seminis.
