Three species of digenetic trematodes are recorded from the three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus Linnaeus, 1758, namely Podocotyle atomon (Rudolphi, 1802), Brachyphallus crenatus (Rudolphi, 1802), and Lecithaster gibbosus (Rudolphi, 1802). The latter two species are new host records for North America.

First Time

En 1995, la présence du Grand brochet (Esox lucius), une espèce piscivore, a été notée pour la première fois dans le lac Ramsay, Parc de la Gatineau (Québec). Il a été déterminé que l’espèce a été introduite après l’été 1991. Un échantillonnage exhaustif de l’ichtyofaune du lac en 2001 et 2002 a permis de constater que trois des 17 petites espèces de poissons du lac sont probablement disparues: le Mulet perlé (Margariscus margarita), l’Épinoche à cinq épines (Culaea inconstans) et une forme rare de l’Épinoche à trois épines (Gasterosteus aculeatus). Il est prédit que plusieurs autres espèces pourraient disparaître au cours des prochaines années. La croissance du Grand brochet dans le lac Ramsay est comparable aux autres lacs du sud du Québec. En 2001, le rapport femelles:mâles était de 15 : 1, une valeur anormale et inexpliquée.In 1995, the Northern Pike (Esox lucius), a piscivorous fish, was captured for the first time in Ramsay Lake, a small lake of the Gatineau Park (Québec). It was determined that this species was introduced after the summer of 1991. An exhaustive survey of the ichthyofauna of this lake in 2001 and 2002 indicated that three of the 17 small-bodied species of the lake have probably disappeared: the Pearl Dace (Margariscus margarita), the Fivespine Stickleback (Culaea inconstans) and a special form of the Threespine Stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus). It is predicted that several other species may be extirpated in the next few years. Northern Pike growth in the lake is comparable to other values obtained for other southern Québec lakes. In 2001, the female:male ratio was highly unbalanced and difficult to explain at 15 : 1. Erratum added.

1. Eight species of digenetic trematodes, including one new species, have been recorded from six species of host fishes caught in the trawl off the east coast of Iceland.2. Seven species are recorded for the first time from this locality and there are two new host records among the seven known species.3. Details of the exact locality and depth from which the fishes were taken are given, together with a brief account of each known trematode and a more extensive account of the new species, Steganoderma pycnorganum.

Twelve species of parasitic helminths, seven trematodes, four nematodes and one acanthocephalan are reported from various hosts. Creptotrema lynchi, a parasite from Bufo marinus in Colombia, is described for the first time in fish and from Brazil, parasitizing two different species. A list of the host species, measurements and figures of most parasites are included with particular reference to the tegument of Bellumcorpus major recovered from a new host. The genus Zonocotyloides Padilha, 1978 is considered a synonym of Zonocotyle and the new combination: Zonocotyle haroltravassosi is proposed to the species Zonocotyloides haroltravassosi Padilha, 1978. The nematodes Cucullanus pinnai and Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) inopinatus and the trematode Pararhipidocotyle jeffersoni are reported in new hosts. The description of the acanthocephalan Neoechinorhynchus curemais (new locality record) is supplemented. Other parasites recovered include the nematodes Travnema travnema (new locality record), Rondonia rondoni and the digenetic trematodes Cladocystis intestinalis, Pseudosellacotyla lutzi (new locality record), Teratotrema sp. and Zonocotyle bicaecata.

Two new host records and two new records for North America are included.

Giant water bugs (aquatic Heteroptera), Belostoma dilatatum (Dufour, 1863), were collected in rice plantation water canals, in the Municipality of Eldorado do Sul, outskirts of Porto Alegre, State of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. Five specimens were dissected with the objective of finding metacercariae of digenetic trematodes. Four of them (80%) were positive for metacercarial cysts of Stomylotrema vicarium Braun, 1901. The intensities of infection varied from 1 to 16 metacercariae per host (average 7.6). The cysts were whitish, translucent, and found loose among the viscera, in the abdominal and thoracic cavities. Belostoma dilatatum is a new host record for metacercarial cysts of stomylotrematid digenetic trematodes and this is the first time that aquatic hemipterans are recorded as second intermediate hosts of digenetic trematodes in Brazil.

AbstractThe mechanosensory lateral line of fishes is a flow sensing system and supports a number of behaviors, e.g. prey detection, schooling or position holding in water currents. Differences in the neuromast pattern of this sensory system reflect adaptation to divergent ecological constraints. The threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, is known for its ecological plasticity resulting in three major ecotypes, a marine type, a migrating anadromous type and a resident freshwater type. We provide the first comparative study of the pattern of the head lateral line system of North Sea populations representing these three ecotypes including a brackish spawning population. We found no distinct difference in the pattern of the head lateral line system between the three ecotypes but significant differences in neuromast numbers. The anadromous and the brackish populations had distinctly less neuromasts than their freshwater and marine conspecifics. This difference in neuromast number between marine and anadromous threespine stickleback points to differences in swimming behavior. We also found sexual dimorphism in neuromast number with males having more neuromasts than females in the anadromous, brackish and the freshwater populations. But no such dimorphism occurred in the marine population. Our results suggest that the head lateral line of the three ecotypes is under divergent hydrodynamic constraints. Additionally, sexual dimorphism points to divergent niche partitioning of males and females in the anadromous and freshwater but not in the marine populations. Our findings imply careful sampling as an important prerequisite to discern especially between anadromous and marine threespine sticklebacks.

A new species, Glyptapanteles hypermnestrae Gupta and Pereira, is described from Maharashtra, India, and comparedwith closely allied species. This new species was bred from parasitized larvae of Elymnias hypermnestra (Linnaeus) (Lep-idoptera: Nymphalidae). In addition to this, two hymenopteran parasitoids, Apanteles folia Nixon (Braconidae: Microgas-trinae) and Brachymeria indica (Krausse) (Chalcididae), are for first time reported parasitizing larvae of Arhopalaamantes (Hewitson) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) and pupae of Pareronia valeria (Cramer) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) respectively.
