Summary A new mermithid nematode, Thaumamermis cosgrovei n. gen., n. sp. (Mermithidae: Nematoda) was found parasitizing two terrestrial isopods (Isopoda: Oniscoidea) in California. The hosts, Armadillidium vulgare (Latr.) (a pillbug) and Porcellio scaber (Latr.) (a sowbug) represent the first cases of isopods attacked by mermithid nematodes. The genus Thaumamermis can be distinguished from all previously described mermithids by the extremely dimorphic spicules, one being short and broad and the other long and filiform. It has been discovered that the nematodes are infected with an iridiovirus which commonly destroys the isopod hosts. ac]19800917 相似文献

Summary Two new species of the Mermithidae (Nematoda) are described from the Japanese blackfly Simulium japonicum Matsumura. They are the first representatives of Gastromermis and Isomermis from Japan. Gastromermis mesostoma n. sp. is characterized by a terminal or near terminal mouth, 6 hypodermal cords and the absence of cloacal or vulvar lips.
Isomermis bipapillatus n. sp. is characterized by the small size of the spicules, their curved shape and by a pair of terminal hypodermal protuberances
in the tail.

Thalassomermis megamphis n. gen., n. sp.
(Mermithidae: Nemata) from the Bathyal South Atlantic Ocean
Thalassomermis megamphis n. gen., n. sp. (Mermithidae: Nemata) was extracted from sediment collected off the coast of Brazil at a depth of approximately 1,000 m. Although the food of this new nematode is unknown, the reduction of the stoma and esophagus and presence of a trophosome indicate that it is parasitic in its juvenile stages. Thalassomermis megaraphis n. gen., n. sp. is assigned to Mermithidae because of its similarity to that family in the appearance of the cephalic sensory receptors, the long and tubular vagina, and copulatory muscles of the male extending posteriorly throughout most of the length of the tail. Thalassomermis megamphis n. gen., n. sp. differs from all other members of Mermithidae by the large, lenticular, intracuticular amphidial fovea with coiled, emergent terminal filaments as well as the small amphidial aperture situated over the center of the fovea. 相似文献

Specimens of Ligidium sp. (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea) collected from Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan were found to be infected with parasitic nematodes. We have obtained two Mermithidae (Nematoda) by dissecting the fresh specimen and from the dead specimen of Ligidium, which marks the second known discovery of a mermithid infection in the order Isopoda. Herein, a report on the nuclear 28S rDNA and 18S rDNA sequence of the isolated Mermithidae nematodes and on the morphology of the juveniles is provided. 相似文献

We described the carryover of Strelkovimermis spiculatus (Poinar and Camino) (Nematoda: Mermithidae) from mosquito larvae, the primary site of maturation, to adults. We analyzed the survival time of male and female Aedes albifasciatus (Macquart) (Diptera: Culicidae) parasitized by S. spiculatus, the time of emergence of nematodes from adult mosquitoes, and the state of parasitism in the same mosquito cohorts during the immature stages. Mosquito larvae with single and multiple parasitism (up to 11 parasites) were observed. The mortality of mosquito larvae and adults was produced in all cases where at least one mermithid emerged. The mortality of S. spiculatus showed an increasing trend in mosquito larvae with larger numbers of nematodes and was higher in larvae parasitized by eight or more nematodes. Maximum survival of parasitized adult females of Ae. albifasciatus was 38 days, while non‐parasitized adult males and females survived 39 and 41 days, respectively. Strelkovimermis spiculatus mortality was observed in Ae. albifasciatus larvae with single or multiple parasitisms. The spread of mermithid parasitism in adult mosquito populations is discussed. 相似文献

Dactylostomum
nicolli n. sp. is described from the intestine of the goatfish Upeneichthys
lineatus (Bloch & Schneider) (Mullidae) caught off Point Peron, Western Australia. The problem of assigning the new species to the appropriate genus, especially with regard to its close resemblance to Paropecoelus Pritchard, 1966, which also infects goatfishes, is discussed. This is the second report of Dactylostomum Woolcock, 1935 from an Australian marine fish. The new species is distinguished by its elongate form, simple ventral sucker papillae and irregularly shaped ovary. 相似文献

Water crickets of the subfamily Haloveliinae are semi-aquatic bugs occurring in freshwater and marine habitats throughout the Indo-Australian region, presently including six genera with more than 80 extant species. Whether lineage diversification in Haloveliinae is associated with the utilization of new ecological niches caused by transition events between freshwater and marine habitats remains poorly understood. We investigate the evolutionary history of Haloveliinae using large-scale phylogenomic datasets and a set of novel redefined morphological characters based on 24 ingroup taxa representing all recognized genera. Our phylogenetic results based on the novel datasets definitively indicate that the freshwater genus Strongylovelia Esaki as currently defined is paraphyletic and supports the establishment of a new genus: Metavelia gen. nov., including three congeneric species: Metavelia patiooni comb. nov. (type species), Metavelia priori comb. nov. and Metavelia albicolli comb. nov. Reconstruction of ancestral habitats suggests a freshwater origin for the Haloveliinae. Divergence time estimations reveal that the origin of the monophyletic marine clade occurred at around 83 Ma (95% highest posterior density: 71–98 Ma) in the Late Cretaceous, involving a single transition event from freshwater to marine habitats. This time coincides with the period of high global sea levels in the Late Cretaceous. During this period, the marine incursions caused by the massive sea level rise flooded the continental margins, especially in Southeast Asia, where ancestral Haloveliinae were probably distributed. The appearance of new marine habitats after the marine incursions (e.g., intertidal, mangroves and estuarine) probably led to a subsequent establishment and diversification of the marine lineages. 相似文献

Ovomermis sinensis (Nematoda: Mermithidae) is an entomophilic nematode and a potential biocontrol agent of lepidopteran pests, including Helicoverpa armigera. The sex ratio of a species can be used to regulate the size of the reproductive population. Parasitic load, parasitic period, host instar, and body size were examined to identify factors affecting the O. sinensis sex ratio. We tested the hypothesis that the O. sinensis sex ratio is correlated with host nutrient supply and the nutrients absorbed by the nematodes. The results show that the proportion of male O. sinensis increased with parasitic load but decreased with host instars and body size. Moreover, the parasitic period of males was significantly shorter than that of females. However, all the factors (host and nematodes) affecting the sex ratio were significantly modified by restricting the host diet, which increased the proportion of males. In turn, juveniles that absorbed fewer nutrients tended to develop into males. Taken together, our findings suggest that factors impacting the O. sinensis sex ratio are related to host nutrient status and provide parameters for mass rearing and a release strategy for this natural enemy. 相似文献

A new nematode species, Paracapillaria epinepheli, is described from the stomach of the marine fish Epinephelus morio (Valenciennes), the red grouper, (Serranidae, Perciformes) from coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico in Yucatan, southeastern Mexico. It is characterised mainly by its small body (body length of male and female 2.73–3.22 mm and 5.94–6.35 mm, respectively), number (31–36) and structure of the stichocytes, length of the spicule (0.180–0.195 mm), structure of the male caudal bursa (considerably reduced), structure and size of the eggs (size 0.057–0.063 × 0.027–0.030 mm), and by their site within the host. It is the second Paracapillaria species known to occur in the marine and estuarine fishes of the Gulf of Mexico. 相似文献

A skull and mandible of a crocodylian from the late Lutetian of Issel, previously described as ‘Atacisaurus glareae’ is reconsidered. The holotype of ‘A. glareae’, a partial mandible, is lost, and the skull cannot be designated as a lectotype for the species. ‘Atacisaurus glareae’ is thus a nomen dubium. The skull bears a combination of characters, allowing us to assign it to the genus Kentisuchus. It differs from the, until now, only known species Kentisuchus spenceri from the Ypresian of England, in having a more robust snout, with the constriction of the snout at the level of the seventh–eighth teeth being 80% of the largest maxillary width, and not bearing anteroposterior shallow fossae along the lacrimomaxillary sutures. A new species is thus erected, K entisuchus astrei sp. nov. Phylogenetic analysis confirms that the genus Kentisuchus is one of the most primitive tomistomine. The phylogenetic and palaeogeographic distribution suggests that Kentisuchus was isolated in the Atlantic Ocean, and Ebro (Spain) and Aquitaine (France) basins, during the Ypresian, and that the south Pyrenean marine corridor between the Atlantic Ocean and the Tethys could have closed during the early Ypresian, earlier than previously supposed. This could be correlated with the first mammal migrations from the Iberian Peninsula to Southern France. The palaeogeographic distribution of early and middle Eocene tomistomines also suggests the possible presence of a marine corridor between the North Sea and the Central Tethys through the Polish Lowlands Basin during the early Lutetian. This marine corridor could be informative for studies on mammal migration, as the presence of a north–south marine corridor necessarily means there is an absence or less efficient east–west terrestrial passage. This could have consequences on the history of Asian–European mammal migrations. 相似文献

A new prolacertilian species and genus, Augustaburiania vatagini gen. et sp. nov. (Reptilia: Archosauromorpha), from the Lower Triassic of the Don River Basin is described. It is the first
representative of the Tanystropheidae in the Eastern Europe and the world oldest member of this family. Another new genus
(Protanystropheus gen. nov.) from Central and Western Europe is also established. The diversity, systematics, phylogeny, evolution, and stratigraphic
and geographical distribution of prolacertilians are discussed. The ecological role of prolacertilians in Early Triassic communities
and adaptation to marine environments are analyzed. 相似文献

Three little-known opecoelid digeneans from marine fishes off Corsica, France, are redescribed and their relationships discussed. Plagioporus novella Maillard & Lambert, 1978 from Conger conger is transferred to Podocotyle as P. novella (Maillard & Lambert, 1978) n. comb. The new combinations Podocotyle tohei (Yamaguti, 1970) and P. congeri (Yamaguti, 1970) are formed for species originally assigned to Plagioporus. Podocotyle temensis Fischthal & Thomas, 1970 from Epinephelus guaza is redescribed and compared with the other Podocotyle species reported from the Mediterranean. A third species, Pseudopecoeloides chloroscombri (Fischthal & Thomas, 1970) n. comb. (was Podocotyloides), is redescribed from three Trachurus species and a key to the species of this Pseudopecoeloides is given. 相似文献

Maritime chironomid midges (Diptera) are diverse, yet these ‘pearls of the ocean’ are little known. Emphasizing Pacific Ocean taxa, we used six genetic markers (18S, 28S, CAD1, CAD4, FolCOI and COI) and fossil calibrations to produce Bayesian time-calibrated phylogenies to date eight independent marine transitions in three subfamilies. Deep nodes involve subfamily Telmatogetoninae (originating mid-Cretaceous, 101–128, 114 Ma), with sister genera Telmatogeton Schiner and Thalassomya Schiner splitting later in the Cretaceous (56–82, 69 Ma). Two transitions in Orthocladiinae involve Clunio Haliday and Pseudosmittia Edwards, dating from the upper Cretaceous, both with Eocene crown groups. In subfamily Chironominae, transitions to marine occur in two tribes. Four transitions occur within the otherwise nonmarine crown groups Kiefferulus Goetghebuer, Dicrotendipes Kieffer, Polypedilum Kieffer and Ainuyusurika Sasa & Shirasaka. Two separate robust clades in tribe Tanytarsini involve: (1) a minor radiation within Paratanytarsus dated to the mid-Eocene around 43 Ma; and (2) an unexpected but fully supported diversification in Pontomyia Edwards plus Yaetanytarsus Sasa dated to around 47 Ma, with separation of Pontomyia from Yaetanytarsus around 40 Ma. Crown Pontomyia, represented by three species, was estimated to have diverged around 19 Ma, whereas the crown radiation of Yaetanytarsus, with 12 sampled species, dates to the mid-Eocene. In a comprehensive global review we concisely document new synonymies and new combinations revealed by the study. The evolutionary timing estimate provides insights into the frequency of marine transitions and diversifications in the Chironomidae in association with dynamic oceanic changes during the Oligocene and Miocene. 相似文献

A new species of parasitic nematode, Neoascarophis macrouri n. sp. (Cystidicolidae), is described from the stomach and stomach wall of the marine deep-water fish Macrourus berglax (onion-eye grenadier) in the eastern Greenland Sea (North Atlantic Ocean). The new species, studied using both light and scanning electron microscopy, is characterised mainly by the location of the vulva near the posterior end of the body (a short distance anterior to the anus), non-filamented eggs, the structure of the mouth, a short vestibule and the length of the spicules (567–615 and 144–156 μm). Metabronema insulanum Solov’eva, 1991 is transferred to Neoascarophis as N. insulana (Solov’eva, 1991) n. comb. 相似文献
