Abstract
The status of two genera Neothelohanellus Das and Haldar, 1986 and Lom osporus Gupta and Khera, 1988 (Myxozoa: Myxosporea) have been reviewed . Neothelohanellus catlae and Lomosporus indicus the type species of t he two respective genera have been retained, whereas N. krishnagarensi s has been replaced as Lomosporus krishnagarensis (Das and Haldar 1986 ) nov. comb. under the genus Lomosporus. Suprageneric taxonomic accoun t of these parasites are made and a new family Neothelohanellidae unde r the suborder Variisporina Lom and Noble, 1984 has been proposed to i nclude these two genera.
