PREFACE The work on Trematode fauna of India was carried out by well known helminthologists of the country like Bhalerao, Chauhan, Mehra and Srivastava, etc. However, no attention has been paid by earlier workers to record the very important infective larval stage of trematodes, i.e. the metacercaria, although records of few groups of Cercariae are available (Sewell, Mukherjee). Another important reason which can be cited is that Indian literature is not easily available to the parasitologists, who are interested to work in this area. Therefore, the present work on "Metacercarial Fauna of India" is undertaken. We are profoundly thankful to Prof. David I. Gibson, Editor, Systematic Parasitology, Department of Zoology, Natural History Museum, London, U.K. who maintained an unfailing supply of articles and acted as the conveyor belt for a multitude of articles. We are also thankful to Prof. R. Madhavi Department of Zoology, Andhra University, Waltair, without whose help this work would not have taken shape. We extend our gratitude to Prof. P. Janardan from Calicut, Prof. U. Shame em from Waltair, Dr. A.M.Saxena of Lucknow University, Dr. S. Chakraborti of ZSI, Kolkata, Dr. R.B. Bind of IVRI, Bareilley and Prof. Bhargavi from Hyderabad for their immense help in procuring the literature. Help received from Dr. Amita Devak, Dr. B.K. Gupta and Dr. Rahul Gupta is also gratefully acknowledged. We express our deepest appreciation to Dr. K. Venkatraman, Director, Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata for his keen interest and support. Thanks are also due to DST for financial assistance and UGC New Delhi for recognizing the thrust area "Helminth Taxonomy" under SAP-DRS I programme of the Department of Zoology, University of Lucknow, Lucknow (U. P.). In the present work, we have recorded trematode metacercariae, described till date, including those whose life histories have been worked out, along with their hosts and locality. The metacercarial groups have been placed, by and large, according to the Trematode classification, given by eminent Indian helminthologist and former Head of the Department of Zoology, University of Allahabad, Late Prof. H. R. Mehra, (1970 & 1980).
