Abstract	Three new species of Myxobolus are described from the mucous membrane around gill lamellae of carps of West Bengal. The new species have been named as M. muralidharani sp. n., M. nilimae sp. n. from Labeo rohita, and M. harpreetae sp. n. from Labeo bata respectively. Spores of M. muralidharani sp. n. measured 13.84 ± 0.049 (13–14) × 4.95–6 (5.35) µm, with two elongated equal sized polar capsules. Spores of M. nilimae sp. n. measured 15.9–17.1 (16.65) µm × 6.2–7.5 (6.9) µm, with two equal petal shaped polar capsules, 9.0–11 (10.4) µm × 3–3.5 (3.16) µm. In contrast to aforementioned two new species, M. harpreetae sp. n. had two unequal polar capsules, 8.7–9.2 (9.149) µm × 2.9–4.0 (3.45) µm and 7.6–8.3 (7.94) µm × 2.8–3.3 (2.9) µm in each spore, 11.4–13.8 (13.2) µm × 4.9–7.8 (6.51) µm.
