In M. levinei, presence of lobe like rounded anterior end while in the present form, an anterior rounded part is forwarded downwards for which parasite looks a peculiar question mark like shape. M. elongatum is elongated curved at the anterior end, tapering towards posterior ends with sharply pointed ends. The posterior end of present form also exhibits significant differences with M. levinei and M. elongatum. The present form has a pointed rectangular tail, shows a reasonable difference from the earlier one. M. levinei has a cylindrical pointed tail. In the present form, nucleus presents almost the middle portion of the body while in M. levinei nucleus found very close to the tail portion and rounded in shape as like that of M. elongatum. Mucron is not found in M. levinei but present in the current species as like that of M. elongatum. M. levinei and M. elongatum were found from Nadia, West Bengal, India and Murshidabad, West Bengal, India respectively, but the new one has been recorded from the host collected from Dhaka, Bangladesh (Table 4).</p> <p>Considering all these aspects, the present species is considered as a new one hence, the name Monocystis bangladeshensis sp. nov. is being proposed in this communication.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E98791FFD1FF99FDAAAAB98D25FEFB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In present form, the anterior portion with broad opening which gives a mouth like shape while, in M. bengalensis gamont is oval shaped in young stage, elongated or club shaped in mature stage, contains rounded anterior end. In addition to the anterior end, the posterior end of the present form exhibits prominent differences with M. levinei and M. bengalensis. The present form has a lobe like cylindrical tail which shows a significant difference from the previously described species as it bears pointed tail. Moreover, the shape and size of nucleus, gametocyst and oocyst of the current species are different from the previously recorded species. Furthermore, the present form has been recorded from Metaphire peguana of Dhaka, Bangladesh, while M. levinei and M. bengalensis have been recorded from Eutyphoeus incommodus of Nadia, West Bengal, India and Pheretima posthuma of Calcutta, West Bengal, India respectively (Table 5).</p> <p>Based on the comparative characters of the present form with the previously described species, the species under discussion seems to be a new one hence the name Monocystis hamidae sp. nov. is being proposed.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E98791FFD3FF9EFE57A8348C7CFC76	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
