Abstract
The distribution of Bothriecephazus sp., Guptaia sp., Mackiewicgia sp., Polyonchobethrium sp., PtMchobotkriune sp., and SeBtga sp. in the alimentary tract of nine Indian hill-stream fishes are described. Though the region around pyloric sphincter was preferred by most cestodes, Senga sp. enabled its existence even in the latter part of intestine apparently because of its well leveloped adhesive apparatus on scolex.
