Larvae of caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera) from the Mesozoic of Siberia

Body fossils of caddisfly larvae are described for the first time based on material from the Lower Cretaceous of Siberia (Baissa locality, Neocomian). The material includes a fully grown larva of Baissoplectrum separatum gen. et sp. nov. (Brachycentridae), Creterotesis coprolithica gen. et sp. nov. (Leptoceridae), and Cretolype minuta gen. et sp. nov., a tiny larva probably belonging to an uncertain family of the suborder Annulipalpia (Hydropsychina). C. coprolithica built unusually soft larval cases of pellets; these cases are described as a separate new indusigenus and indusispecies Coprindusia pallida gen. et sp. nov. Bionomics, taxonomy, and evolution of the Mesozoic larvae of Trichoptera are discussed.

To the species composition of rhagionid flies of the group subaquilus of the genus Chrysopilus (Diptera, Rhagionidae) in the Russian Far East

A group of the species closely related to Chrysopilus subaquilus and distributed in the eastern regions of Russia is considered. Two new species are described. Ch. leleji is closely related to Ch. kurenzovi Kriv. et Sid. Its tergites II-V are blackish brown at their bases, not paler than the others; sternite VIII is broad and rectangular; tergite IX forms a distinct cone-shaped opening. Ch. paradoxus is similar to Ch. subaquilus Nag., but its clypeus is red, not brown. In addition, this species differs distinctly from all the known species of this genus in the presence of lateral tubercles on tergite IX. The main morphological characteristics of Ch. subaquilus Nag., Ch. lilianae Sob., and Ch. yezonis Nag. are analyzed.     

Evaluation of candidate probiotic strains for gilthead sea bream larvae (Sparus aurata) using an in vivo approach

AIMS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of six bacterial strains on gilthead sea bream larvae (Sparus aurata). METHODS AND RESULTS: Six bacterial strains isolated from well-performing live food cultures were identified by sequencing fragments of their 16s rDNA genome to the genus level as Cytophaga sp., Roseobacter sp., Ruergeria sp., Paracoccus sp., Aeromonas sp. and Shewanella sp. Survival rates of gilthead sea bream larvae transferred to seawater added these bacterial strains at concentrations of 6 +/- 0.3 x 10(5) bacteria ml(-1) were similar to those of larvae transferred to sterilized seawater and showed an average of 86% at 9 days after hatching, whereas, survival rates of larvae transferred to filtered seawater were lower (P < 0.05), and showed an average of 39%, 9 days after hatching. CONCLUSION: Several bacterial strains isolated from well-performing live food cultures showed a positive effect for sea bream larvae when compared with filtered seawater. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The approach used in this study could be applied as an in vivo evaluation method of candidate probiotic strains used in the rearing of marine fish larvae.     

不同开口饵料对西伯利亚鲟仔鱼生长、存活和体成分的影响

分别采用水丝蚓（Limnodrilus sp.）、卤虫无节幼体（Artemia nauplii）、枝角类（Moina sp.）和人工饲料饲养西伯利亚鲟仔鱼30 d,研究不同开口饵料对西伯利亚鲟仔鱼生长、存活率和体成分的影响.结果表明：卤虫无节幼体为西伯利亚鲟最适开口饵料,仔鱼的存活率最高（96.67%）; 投喂水丝蚓组生长速度最快;而人工饲料组生长速度明显低于其他组,且成活率最低.不同开口饵料组间仔鱼体成分差异显著,人工饲料组水分含量最高,且粗蛋白和粗灰分含量最低.采用卤虫无节幼体为西伯利亚鲟仔鱼开口饵料,然后采用水丝蚓进行强化培育,能获得较好的生长速度和存活率.

Of 54 species of Gnathostomulida known to date, only six have been reported from the Pacific Ocean. This paper describes 18 species of Gnathostomulida from the Pacific islands of Fiji. Tonga and northern New Zealand. Of these, three are species previously described from the northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean: Haplognathia ruberrima (Sterrer 1966), or the northwestern Atlantic: Haplognathia rosacea (Sterrer 1970) and Pterognathia ctenifera (Sterrer 1970). Fifteen species are new to science, including three that represent two new genera: Cosmognathia arcus gen. et sp.n., Cosmognathia bastillae sp.n., Pterognathia crocodilus sp.n., Pterognathia vilii sp.n., Agnathiella sp., Tenuignathia vitiensis sp.n., Ratugnathia mukuluvae gen . et sp.n., Gnathostomula salotae sp.n., Gnathostomula raji sp.n., Gnathostomula maorica sp.n., Austrognathia singatokae sp.n., Austrognathia nannulifera sp.n., Austrognathia novaezelandiae sp.n., Austrognatharia homunculus sp.n., and Austrognatharia pecten sp.n.     

Pathology of larval Eustrongylides in the rabbit

Three fishermen from Maryland who swallowed live bait-minnows developed severe abdominal pain within 24 hr; 2 required abdominal surgery. Larvae of the nematode Eustrongylides sp. were found in the peritoneal cavity of both (Guerin et al., 1982). In the current study, the lesions produced by Eustrongylides larvae were investigated in New Zealand white rabbits. None of these exhibited any signs of clinical illness; however, postmortem examination within 24 hr of inoculation revealed that larvae had migrated through the walls of the esophagus and stomach and viable larvae were recovered from the pleural and peritoneal cavities as well as from gastric contents. Necropsies performed at different intervals of time postinoculation showed that the migrating larvae had produced multi-focal peritonitis and multiple granulomata in the liver.
