Abstract
The present paper deals with the description of two new species ofChilomastix, C. osmaniae n. sp. andC. graecae n. sp. collected from the Indian birds. These two species differ markedly in their structure from the hitherto known species. A detailed morphological description of these and a discussion on the specific identity is given.
