Monascus typicus (Odhner, 1911), and Tergestia clonacantha Manter, 1963, are reported for the first time from the Indian region. Faustula gangetica (Srivastava, 1935) Yamaguti, 1958, originally reported from Clupea ilisha, an anadromous species from Allahabad, is reported from a marine fish, Hilsa sinensis (= Clupea toli). A new name, Paradiscogaster yamagutii, is proposed for junior homonym of P. chaetodontis Yamaguti, 1942.
