Abstract

A checklist of forty-one species of genus Apolocystis documented throughout the world being presented here. Out of forty-one seven species of genus Apolocystis have so far been recorded from India. The species mainly infect seminal vesicles, coelom, coelomic fluid, intestine, blood vessel, peripharyngeal coelom, pharyngeal gland and nephredia of different oligochaete host.
