摘要
A new species of histozois myxosporidean, Kudoa tetraspora, infecting the tissue around the optic lobes of a fish, Mugil cephalus is, described. This is the second report of a species of Kudoa from India and the second in the world which establishes around the brain. The cysts range varies from 0·3-1·5 mm in diameter and are attached superficially to the tissue around the optic lobes. The spores are quadrate in polar view each measuring 9·0×9·0 μm and contains 4 polar capsules. The polar filaments are thick and each measures 10·0-12·0 μm in length. The spores are characteristically arranged in groups of four for which the name 'tetraspora' is proposed. © 1979 Indian Academy of Sciences.
