A new species of a nematode of the family Camallanidae Railliet et Henry, 1915 from the ovary of freshwater fish, Barbus (Puntius) ticto (Günther) caught off the Krishna River at Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh) is described. Description is based on two male and two female specimens from a large number of hosts examined. The specimens do not agree with descriptions of known species of the genus Camallanus, hence a new species Camallanus praveeni has been erected to accommodate the present specimens. The new species could be distinguished by body measurements, in the nature of tridents, position of nerve ring and excretory pore, position and length of spicules, number and arrangement of caudal papillae, vulva position and shape of tail end.
描述了一种来自淡水鱼巴布斯（细纹魮）卵巢的新线虫物种，该鱼于维杰亚瓦达（安得拉邦）的克里希纳河捕获，隶属于1915年拉耶尔和亨利建立的卡马莱线虫科。描述基于对大量宿主进行检查后获得的两个雄性和两个雌性标本。这些标本与卡马莱线虫属已知物种的描述不符，因此建立了一个新物种——普拉文尼卡马莱线虫，以容纳当前标本。新物种可通过身体测量、三叉戟的性质、神经环和排泄孔的位置、交合刺的位置和长度、尾乳突的数量和排列、阴门位置以及尾端形状来区分。
