Fundulus Diaphanus

Over 90% of 829 banded killifish from three Nova Scotian locations were infected with at least one parasitic species. Protozoans, monogeneans, digeneans, cestodes, nematodes, acanthocephalans, and a crustacean and a molluscan species occurred in the fish. All species recovered are reported for the first time from Fundulus diaphanus in Nova Scotia and 12 are new host records. Five of the non-digenean larval genera found were probably accidental parasites.

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.

Benthic Consumers

Between November 1988 and October 1996, >10,000 fish from the Breton Shelf, Sable Island Bank and the northeastern Gulf of Maine were examined for larval anisakines. Larval sealworm, Pseudoterranova decipiens, occurred in 30 of 39 species surveyed, including 8 new host records, Enchelyopus cimbrius, Lycodes reticulatus, Eumesogrammus praecisus, Lumpenus lumpretaeformis, Lumpenus maculatus, Cryptacanthodes maculatus, Artediellus atlanticus and Triglops murrayi. The parasite was most prevalent and abundant in mature demersal piscivores and benthic consumers. Sealworm densities (nr kg-1 host wt.), however, were greatest in small benthophagous fish including mature E. cimbrius, A. atlanticus, T. murrayi and Aspidophoroides monopterygius, and juvenile Hippoglossoides platessoides. ANOVA revealed that geographical disparities in sealworm prevalence and abundance were highly significant in 14 of 20 species tested, although significant disparities between samples from each of the three areas were evident only in H. platessoides. Almost invariably, infection parameters were greatest in fish from Sable Island Bank. ANOVA also indicated that sealworm prevalence and/or abundance increased significantly in Sable Island Bank populations of Gadus morhua, H. platessoides, and seven other species between 1985-1986 and 1989-1990. Routine examinations, in which host flesh was sliced and candled, proved as efficacious as digestion in warm (35° C) pepsin-HCl for detection of larval sealworm in the flesh of large frozen fish. Procedures employing fresh (iced) samples, digestion at ambient temperature and microscopy are recommended, however, for surveys of small benthic consumers. Many of the sealworm infecting the latter hosts are tiny (2 to 10 mm in length) nematodes, which escape detection by routine inspection, and may not survive in warm pepsin-HCl solution.

AbstractDipetalonema caudispina (Molin, 1858) and D. gracile (Rudolphi, 1809) (Filarioidea: Onchocercidae) are two of six known species of filarial nematodes that parasitize Neotropical non-human primates. Adult filariae were collected from the thoracic and abdominal cavities of 38 of 44 specimens of Sapajus macrocephalus (Spix, 1823) and nine of ten specimens of Cebus albifrons (Humboldt, 1812) (Primates: Cebidae), distributed in the Yavarí-Mirín river basin and used locally for human consumption. Co-occurrence of D. caudispina and D. gracile is reported for the first time, with a prevalence of 18.5% (10 of 54 hosts examined). Our finding of D. caudispina and D. gracile in cebids from the Peruvian Amazon constitutes a new geographical record for both filariae, two new host records for D. caudispina, and the first report of D. gracile in S. macrocephalus. In addition, we provide morphometric data for D. caudispina, complementing the original description, as well as scanning electron microscopy details on the structure of the area rugosa and number of caudal papillae in males.

An annotated catalogue of the Nepticulidae and Opostegidae of mainland France (including Monaco) and Corsica is presented. All previous literature records are given and interpreted where necessary. We provide detailed records for material collected and studied by us. A total of 150 species of Nepticulidae and 6 species of Opostegidae are listed. All but one Nepticulidae are recorded from mainland France, 46 Nepticulidae and 2 Opostegidae are listed for Corsica, and two Nepticulidae and one Opostegidae for Monaco. The following species are recorded for the first time from France (mainland only): Stigmella carpinella (Heinemann, 1862), S. vimineticola (Frey, 1856), Trifurcula (Glaucolepis) magna A. & Z. LaštÁvka, 1997 and Ectoedemia hexapetalae (SzÝcs, 1957); Parafomoria halimivora Van Nieukerken, 1985 also is reported for France on re-interpretation of earlier literature records of P. helianthemella. New for mainland France but known from Corsica is Ectoedemia heringella (Mariani, 1939). New for Corsica, but previously known from France are: Stigmella luteella (Stainton, 187), Trifurcula (Levarchama) eurema (Tutt, 1899), T. (Trifurcula) josefklimeschi Van Nieukerken, 1990, T. (T.) calycotomella A. & Z. LaštÁvka, 1997, Bohemannia quadrimaculella (Boheman, 1853), and Ectoedemia (Ectoedemia) occultella (Linnaeus, 1767). The following species are removed from the list: Stigmella pretiosa (Heinemann, 1862) and S. poterii (Stainton, 1857), both from mainland France and Corsica, and Trifurcula (Trifurcula) pallidella (Duponchel, 1839) from mainland France, but it does occur in Corsica. The occurrence in France of Stigmella stelviana (Weber, 1938), Trifurcula (T.) serotinella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1855), and Ectoedemia arcuatella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1855) is confirmed, and for 15 species previously recorded in checklists, we provide the first detailed records for mainland France, and for four species for Corsica. The following new host records are given: Stigmella centifoliella (Zeller, 1848) reared from Alchemilla sp. (from label data of Chrétien); T. (Glaucolepis) magna reared from Thymus (from label data of Chrétien); T. (T.) silviae mines were found on Onobrychis viciifolia. The female genitalia of T. magna are illustrated and described for the first time. A lectotype is selected for Nepticula teucriella Chrétien, 1914 (now in Trifurcula (Glaucolepis)). The type locality for Trifurcula luteola is established to be in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and not in Aude. The richest départements are: 66-Pyrenées-Orientales with 70 species, 77- Seine-et-Marne with 65 species, 68-Haut-Rhin with 58 and 33-Gironde with 57.

AbstractSeven species of acanthocephalans were identified for the first time in teleost fish from the Bizerte lagoon, Tunisia, including Neoechinorhynchus (Hebesoma) agilis (Rudolphi, 1819) Van Cleave, 1916; N. (Neoechinorhynchus) rutili Müller, 1780 (Neoechinorhynchidae); Acanthocephaloide propinquus (Dujardin, 1845) Meyer, 1932; A. incrassatus (Molin, 1858) Meyer, 1932 (Arhythmacanthidae); Longicollum pagrosomi Yamaguti, 1935 (Pomphorhynchidae); Rhadinorhynchus cadenati (Golvan et Houin, 1964) Golvan, 1969 (Rhadinorhynchidae); and Telosentis exiguus (von Linstow, 1901) Van Cleave, 1923 (Illiosentidae). Acanthocephaloide propinquus, N. (N.) rutili, L. pagrosomi and R. cadenati were restricted to the rectum and the posterior intestine, whereas the other species (A. incrassatus, T. exiguus and N. (H.) agilis) colonized two or three parts of the intestine. The most diverse acanthocephalan fauna was recorded in Lithognathus mormyrus, with three species; two species were reported from Trachurus trachurus; and a single species was recorded in Liza aurata and in Atherina boyeri. Neoechinorhynchus (N.) rutili, L. pagrosomi and R. cadenati attained the lowest prevalences of less than 6% and were considered as to be rare species. Acanthocephaloide incrassatus, A. propinquus, T. exiguus and N. (H.) agilis were satellite species. The diversity of the acanthocephalan fauna in the fish from the Bizerte lagoon is compared with previous studies from other localities. The report of A. incrassatus, A. propinquus and N. (N.) rutili in L. mormyrus presents new host records in Mediterranean waters.
