A larva of the water mite Sperchonopsis reducta Sokolow, 1940 is described. The idiosoma of the larva bears 18 pairs of setae, the dorsal plate has a wide and slightly convex anterior margin and a pointed posterior end; the setae Fch are not longer than the trichobothria Fp and Oi, the setae Pe are shorter and thinner than the setae Pi; the urstigmae are with well developed caps; the capitulum has a long basis and a short rostrum; the pedipalpal tarsus bears three large serrate unequal setae, a single solenidion, and four thin short smooth setae.

AbstractThe first instar larva of a species of the Australian endemic genus Aenigmetopia Malloch is described for the first time, along with the first instar larvae of three other Australian species representing the genera Amobia Robineau-Desvoidy and Protomiltogramma Townsend. Larval morphology was analysed using a combination of light microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The following morphological structures are documented: pseudocephalon, antennal complex, maxillary palpus, facial mask, modifications of thoracic and abdominal segments, anal region, spiracular field, posterior spiracles and details of the cephaloskeleton. Substantial morphological differences are observed between the three genera, most notably in the labrum and mouthhooks of the cephaloskeleton, sensory organs of the pseudocephalon, spinulation, sculpture of the integument and form of the spiracular field. The first instar larval morphology of Aenigmetopia amissa Johnston, Wallman, Szpila & Pape corroborates the close phylogenetic affinity of Aenigmetopia Malloch with Metopia Meigen, inferred from recent molecular analysis. The larval morphology of Amobia auriceps (Baranov), Protomiltogramma cincta Townsend and Protomiltogramma plebeia Malloch is mostly congruent with the morphology of Palaearctic representatives of both genera.

The genus Pleurodema Tschudi currently contains fourteen species, ten of them occurring in Argentina (Faivovich et al. 2012). However, Pleurodema nebulosum presents a wide altitudinal and latitudinal geographic range and is only distributed in arid areas of western Argentina, from Catamarca to Río Negro province (Ferraro & Casagranda 2009, Frost 2011). The external morphology was described for the tadpoles of most species of Pleurodema, but the external larval morphology of P. nebulosum was only briefly described by Fernández (1927) and Cei (1980). The aim of this work is to provide a detailed redescription of the external larval features of Pleurodema nebulosum.

The Tetrabothriidae represent the dominant group of cestodes, previously known only as adult parasites, in marine birds and mammals. Recognition of their unique plerocercoid larvae provides the first definitive evidence for life history patterns and phylogenetic relationships with other cestodes. Affinities of the Tetrabothriidae and Tetraphyllidea, cestodes of elasmobranchs, are indicated by larval morphology and ontogeny. However, patterns of sequential heterochrony in the ontogeny of the adult scolex of Tetrabothrius sp. appear to be unique among the Eucestoda. Tetrabothriids constitute a fauna that originated by host switching from elasmobranchs to homeotherms, via ecological associations, following invasion of marine communities by birds and mammals in the Tertiary.
