The life history of Allocreadium fasicatusi which occurs in the intestine of a freshwater fish Aplocheilus melastigma has been worked out in detail. The snail Amnicola travancorica acts as the first intermediate host. The mircadidium hatching out from the eggs attacks the snail and passes throught two generations of rediae. Cercariae are of ophthalmoxiphidiocercous type with very long tail and are identical to Cercariae Indicae XLIX Sewell, 1922. The cercariae penetrate and develop into metaceracriae in the haemecoel of the copepods Mesocyclops leuckarti, Microcyclops varicans and Marcocyclops distructus. Upon ingestion by the definitive host, the metacercariae excst and develop into adults. All the stages in the life cycle are described and the life cycle is compared with other allocreadiid life cycles. The original description of A. fasciatusi is revised and Psilostomum chilkai Chatterji, 1956 from Lates calcalifer is synonymized with it.
寄生于淡水鱼黑点青鳉肠道内的带形异肉吸虫的生活史已得到详细研究。特氏河螺作为第一中间宿主。从卵中孵出的毛蚴侵袭螺体，并经历两代雷蚴。尾蚴为眼剑尾蚴型，尾极长，与1922年西韦尔描述的印度尾蚴XLIX相同。尾蚴穿透并在桡足类的亮温剑水蚤、变异小剑水蚤和破坏大剑水蚤的血腔内发育为后尾蚴。终末宿主摄食后，后尾蚴脱囊并发育为成虫。描述了生命周期中的所有阶段，并将该生命周期与其他异肉科吸虫的生命周期进行了比较。对带形异肉吸虫的原始描述进行了修订，并将1956年查特吉描述的尖吻鲈的奇尔卡裸殖吸虫与其同义化。
