Abstract: Eleven species of paramphistomes are described from domestic ruminants of Kashmir, namely, Paramphistomum epiclitum Fischoeder, 1904; P. gracile Fischoeder, 1901; Calicophoron calicophorum (Fischoeder, 1901) Nasmark, 1937; C. papillosum (Stiles et Goldberger, 1910); Orthocoelium dicranocoelium (Fischoeder, 1901) Yamaguti, 1971; O. dinniki Eduardo, 1985; O. gigantopharynx (Schad, Kuntz, Anteson et Webster, 1964) Eduardo, 1985; O. indonesiense Eduardo, 1980; Olveria indica Thapar et Sinha, 1945; Gastrothylax crumenifer (Creplin, 1847) and G. compressus Brandes, 1898. Of these, nine species are new to Kashmir, and in the present study paramphistomes from domestic bovines are included for the first time. The most common paramphistome was G. compressus and the least common one Olveria indica. G. orientalis Bambroo, 1970 is synonymised with G. compressus.
