ABSTRACT
The present study was aimed to specify the morphological and morphometric characterization of Piscean tetraphyllidean Anthobothrium jadhvae Sp. Nov. tapeworm infecting spiral valve of marine fish, Dasyatis walga from Ratnagiri district (M. S.) India. Morphotaxonomic characterization reported as scolex is ‘China Rose’ like with tetrabothridia, ovary U-shaped situated in the posterior region of the segment, mature proglottids are three times longer than broad, testes are preovarian, Ootype is round in shape. This study provides an approach to understand the diversity of piscean tapeworm found in coastal region of Ratnagiri District based on morphotaxonomy.

KEY WORDS : Dasyatis walga, Ratnagiri district, Spiral valve, Tetraphyllidean tapeworm.
