from Nadia district of West Bengal, gamonts appear club­shaped with a gradually tapering pointed tail. Ectoplasm is thin, 2.04.0 µm in thickness. Epicyte is very fine and is free from surface striation. Endoplasm vacuolated with few densely granulated structures, which are randomly distributed. Number of granules is less in the narrow part in comparison to wider portion. Nucleus elongated and in most cases irregular in shape, length is twice its width and its outer surface is rough. In most cases, length of nucleus is twice its width. Nucleus located roughly at the middle or in wider portion of mature gamont. Gametocyst rounded to slightly ovoid. There are two unequal gametes in the gametocyst. The oocysts are navicular in shape.
