Extract

The genus Lecithocladium was erected by Lühe in 1901, with L. excisum (Rud. 1819) as the type species. In addition to the type species, the genus contains L. excisiforme Cohn, 1902, L. gulosum Linton, 1910, L. longicaudum Shen, 1934, L. psenopsis, L. magnacetabulum and L. pagrosomi Yamaguti, 1934, and L. johnii Yamaguti, 1938. L. barbatum Cohn, 1902, has been transferred to the genus Dinurus Looss, 1907, and L. crenatum (Molin, 1859) is regarded by Looss as a ‘species inquirenda’, while Lühe maintains that it is synonymous with L. excisum. The author (1937) has added two more species from Indian hosts to the genus. These are more fully described in the present paper.
