A study of the spermatogenesis of Common Indian frog (Rana Tigrina) treated with testosterone

The material for this paper was obtained partly at Allahabad and partly at Nagpur from Rana tigrina. In those dissected at Nagpur Centrovitus pentadelphi n.g., n.sp., was found in the duodenum and in the intestine and but once in the oesophagus. This species was also found in the duodenum and intestines of the frogs at Allahabad, but there in addition was obtained once from the stomach and once from the rectum. Ganeo glottoides (Klein, 1905) was found but twice in the intestines of frogs at Allahabad.

Indian Frog

Tremiorchis ranarum nov.gen., nov.sp., was first found in the small intestine and duodenum of thirty-six out of one hundred and two specimens of Rana tigrina examined for the purpose. Subsequently many more frogs have been examined and we have obtained these parasites in one out of every three frogs. Rana tigrina being the commonest species of frog available in Northern India is used as the type for dissection in every laboratory and it appears, therefore, strange that this common Trematode parasite should have remained unknown till now. The number of parasites in a host is very variable. Three hosts were found infected with one parasite each, one had 4, one had 5, one 16, one 18, one 196 and one as many as 204.

The species Bucephalopsis karvei n. sp. has been described in detail and separated from the allied species. A survey of the work on Bucephalidæ has been given and the species B. magnum, B. confusus and B. minimus have been considered to be synonyms of B. garui. A key to the existing valid species of Bucephalopsis has been given.The genus Catoptroides has been merged into the synonymy of Phyllodistomum and arguments for so doing have been advanced. Revised diagnosis of Phyllodistomum has been given.Phyllodistomum shandrai n. sp. has been described and separated from the allied species. P. sp. has been briefly described. Key to the species of Phyllodistomum has been given.Paramphistomum maplestoni n. sp. and P. cuonum n. sp., have been described and separated from the allied species P. orthocœlium. A few observations on P. sp. from a wild cat and Diplodiscus amphichrus from Rana tigrina have been recorded. Paramphistomum cervi, P. sp., Cotylophoron orientalis and Gastrothylax crumenifer have been recorded from neelgai, hog deer and sable antelope respectively.Helostomatis sakrei n. sp. has been described and separated from H. helostomatis. A revised diagnosis of Helostomatis has been given.Neocladorchis poonaensis n.g., n. sp. has been described. The new genus Neocladorchis has been defined and separated from the allied genera.
