A New Species

A new species of sucking louse, Hoplopleura zyzomydis, is described and illustrated from the common Australian rock rat Zyzomys argurus (Thomas, 1889) (Rodentia: Muridae), collected in northwest Queensland, Australia. This is the first record of a sucking louse from the genus Zyzomys, and its morphology is contrasted with other Australian Hoplopleura species. Hoplopleura zyzomydis is unique in having a combination of short dorsal principal thoracic setae and setae absent from paratergal plates 4–6. A key to the Australian species of Hoplopleura is presented.

Several, not fully mobile, ,juvenile Planigale maculata, a small terrestrial marsupial, were observed calling from exposed positions near to where they had emerged from their nests. This is the first record of an audible vocalization of the planigale. An oscillogram of their call is presented. At the same time several tawny frogmouth (Podargus stringoides) were calling from surrounding trees. Many P. stringoides were observed picking off the P. maculata from the tree trunks throughout the night.

AbstractA new endoparasitic monogenean of Paradiplectanotrema Gerasev, Gayevskaya & Kovaleva, 1987, Paradiplectanotrema klimpeli sp. nov., is described from the southern Balinese coast, Indonesia. The new species is much larger, wider and characterized by the longest dorsal anchors compared with the congeners. Ventral anchors and ventral bars are the smallest in the genus, with a distinct ratio of 1:1. This is the first species with a gladiator breast-plate-shaped dorsal bar, with a length:width ratio of 1:1. Oesophagi of the Common Grinner Saurida tumbil (Bloch, 1795) (Synodontidae) were infected (prevalence = 17%) at an intensity of 12 (1–21). This is the first record of the genus from the eastern Indian Ocean, and lizardfishes represent a new host family. We provide light microscopy (in situ in oesophagal folds), three-dimensional confocal illustrations and a morphometric comparison of all congeners, with remarks on the recently described first Indonesian endoparasitic Monogenea Pseudempleurosoma haywardi Theisen, Palm, Al-Jufaili & Kleinertz, 2017. First 28S DNA sequences for Paradiplectanotrema allocate the new species close to endoparasitc freshwater monogeneans. Its ecology differs from Pseudempleurosoma Yamaguti, 1965 by utilizing deep-water fishes instead of coastal, coral reef-associated hosts; however, both are infecting schooling, bottom-dwelling fishes.

AbstractSe describe Acasta newmani n. sp. del Golfo de California. Esta es la primera cita de Acasta en el Pacofico oriental. Se discuten las hip otesis sobre la correlacion entre morfologoa cirral y los metodos de alimentacion y especificidad de huespedes. Las similitudes, entre A. newmani y A. cyathus Darwin, 1854 indican que son un ejemplo del patron comun entre especies hermanas a ambos lados del istmo de Panama, en el Caribe y Pacofico oriental tropical. Se incluye una clave de las siete especies americanas de cirropedos que viven en esponjas, indicando la especie huesped y sus distribuciones. El rango de distribucion de Membranobalanus nebrias (Zullo & Beach, 1973) se extiende desde las islas Gal apagos hasta el Golfo de California. Acasta newmani n. sp. from the Gulf of California, Mexico is described. This is the first report of Acasta from the eastern Pacific. Hypotheses are discussed concerning the correlation of cirral morphology with feeding methods and host specificity. The similarities between A. newmani and Acasta cyathus Darwin, 1854 indicate that they are examples of the common pattern of trans-isthmian sibling taxa in the Caribbean and eastern tropical Pacific. A key to the seven sponge-inhabiting barnacle species of the Americas is presented with citations noting their host sponge species and known ranges in the Americas. The range of Membranobalanus nebrias (Zullo & Beach, 1973) is extended from the Galapagos Islands to the Gulf of California.

Sobre Todo

La depredación de cefalópodos por parte de aves no marinas es rara, sobre todo en aves del orden Accipitriformes. Las observaciones se llevaron a cabo in situ y la identificación de Argonauta nouryi fue completamente basada en la forma de la concha. Se registra por primera vez la depredación del nautilo de papel, A. nouryi, por el Gavilán Cangrejo, Buteogallus anthracinus, en el Sector Murciélago del Parque Nacional Santa Rosa, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, lo cual representa la primera ave conocida depredadora de esta especie en el país.
