A new gorgoderinid species Gorgoderina gracilis sp, n. is described from th e Ichthyophis supachaii (Amphibia, Ichthyophiidae) of Thailand. It belongs to the species group having unlobed vitelline follicles near the ventral su cker and differs from all the other species of the genus by the following c haracter combinations: smaller sucker ratio, arrangement, shape and positio n of the testes and vitellaria. The new species represents a new host and l ocality records. A key to the Indomalayan species is given.
