Abstract
During current studies on helminth parasites of different feeding habits, 5 acanthocephalan (5 (♂♂) recovered, (♀♀) not recovered) belonging to the genus Centrorhynchus Luhe, 1911 [6] were recovered, from the intestine of Common myna (Acridotheres tristIs ) (Passeriformes: Sturnidae) of District Larkana, Sindh, Pakistan. On the basis of different diagnostic characteristics including body shape, size, proboscis size, number of longitudinal rows of hooks, number of hooks per row, a new species Centrorhynchus fahmidae is proposed. The name of new species is dedicated in the name of my honourable most loving mother Mst . Fahmida Soomro as first author.
