During this study a new species of genus&nbsp;<em>Camallanus</em>&nbsp;Railliet and Henry, 1915 (Nematoda: Camallanidae) is described from specimens found in the swim bladder of&nbsp;<em>Channa orientalis</em>&nbsp;Bloch and Schneider, 1801 collected from River Gwarko in Panjgur (Balochistan).This new species&nbsp;<em>Camallanus</em>&nbsp;<em>boomkeri&nbsp;</em>n. sp. differs from other reported forms of the genus on the basis of number of longitudinal ridges, body measurements and the caudal end of both sexes.
