Eulimdana lari (Yamaguti, 1935) n. comb. (Nematoda: Filarioidea) was found in 1 of 26 Phalaropus lobatus (L.) and 3 of 9 P. tricolor (Vieillot) collected in Canada near Deer Island, New Brunswick, and Delta, Manitoba, respectively. This is the first report of the parasite in the New World and extends the distribution of the parasite across the Holarctic. Eulimdana lari is now known from 17 species of Charadriiformes, including P. tricolor which is a new host record. It is suggested that E. lari is a parasite of shorebird communities. Eulimdana lari is redescribed and a taxonomic review of Eulimdana Founikoff, 1934 is provided, including an amended generic diagnosis and an annotated list of the five species. Heimnema Chabaud, Brygoo, and Richard, 1964 is placed in synonymy with Eulimdana. In addition to E. lari (Yamaguti, 1935) n. comb., the following changes are made: E. micropenis (Travassos, 1926) n. comb. and E. heimi (Chabaud, Brygoo, and Richard, 1964) n. comb. Eulimdana mazzantii (Railliet, 1893) Neveu-Lemaire, 1936, is considered a species inquirenda. It is pointed out that the type species, E. clava (Wedl, 1856) Founikoff, 1934 has a worldwide distribution in pigeons.

AbstractThree nematode species of Cithariniella (Pharyngodonidae), C. citharini, C. khalili, and C. gonzalesi, were recorded from the recta of squeaker (Mochokidae: Siluriformes) and citharinid (Citharinidae: Characiformes) fishes from Senegal, West Africa. Morphological characteristics obtained by scanning electron microscopy (form of oral aperture and cephalic papillae, presence of lateral alae, distribution and form of cloacal papillae, simple or paired papillae on tail of males, eggs with numerous long filaments on each pole in females) correspond well to the generic diagnosis and represent species differences. The shape and size of the cephalic papillae and lips were identified as a new determination feature. C. gonzalesi is reported for the first time from Senegal and its host, Paradistichodus dimidiatus, represents a new host record. A tentative simple key for differentiating C. citharini, C. khalili, C. gonzalesi and C. petterae is provided based upon these results.

ABSTRACTA new species of polystomatid monogenean,Eupolystoma anterorchissp. n. is described from the urinary bladder and kidneys ofBufo pardalisfrom the Cape Peninsula, Republic of South Africa. It is distinguished from otherEupolystomaspecies, and from all other species except one within the Polystomatidae, by the anterior pre-ovarian extension of a large proportion of the testis follicles. This and other morphological characteristics are incorporated into an amended generic diagnosis.The morphology ofE. alluaudifromBufo regularisin West Africa is also described. The known range of this species is enlarged with new geographical records in the Cameroun and Ethiopia, and a new host record fromNectophrynoides malcolmi.Material from each area shows that the eggs ofEupolystomaspp. complete developmentin uteroand that all developmental stages of the parasite occur side by side within the same host individual. This represents a significant evolutionary departure from the pattern of transmission typical ofPolystomain most of the other anuran hosts.

Five Falcaustra species are reported from southern Ontario: F. inglisi (Anderson, 1964) Baker, 1980 from Rana catesbeiana and R. clamitans (new host record) of Algonquin Park; F. chelydrae Harwood, 1932 and F. wardi (Mackin, 1936) from Chelydra serpentina of Guelph; F. affinis (Leidy, 1856) from Chrysemys picta marginata (new host record) of Guelph; and F. catesbeianae Walton, 1929 from Rana catesbeiana of Long Point, Ontario. The last four species have not previously been reported in Canada. They are redescribed based on specimens from Ontario and museum specimens from North America. Examination of type specimens of Spironoura hylae Reiber, Byrd &Parker, 1940 and Spironoura spiculata Reiber, Byrd &Parker, 1940 revealed that they are synonymous with F. affinis. Type specimens of Falcaustra longespiculata Walton, 1927 from Terrapene Carolina of North America are shown to be lost. This species, which may be synonymous with F. affinis, is designated a species inquirenda.

AbstractParagordius is a genus of Gordiida with a worldwide distribution, but with a scarce specific diversity. Sixteen species of the genus Paragordius have been described so far. In many cases, as with the other genera of Gordiida, the original descriptions of the species are insufficient due to the limitations of the techniques employed. In this work the holotypes of P. minusculus and P. esavianus are redescribed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a new species of Paragordius is described, the distribution for P. esavianus and P. varius is enlarged and a new host record of P. esavianus is presented.

New Host Records

A large collection of mesoparasitic copepods from polychaete hosts collected in northern European waters was examined. The term mesoparasitic refers to highly transformed copepods where the adult female attaches by embedding part of its body in the host. Representatives of five known familes were found and a new family is established. A single new species, Bradophila minuta sp. nov., was described in the family Bradophilidae. It occurred exclusively on the flabelligerid Diplocirus glaucus (Malmgren, 1867). Two genera of the family Herpyllobiidae were represented: Herpyllobius Steenstrup & Lütken, 1861 and Eurysilenium M. Sars, 1870. Herpyllobius arcticus Steenstrup & Lütken, 1861 was found on at least five different polynoid hosts, two of which, Harmothoe fragilis Moore, 1910 and Antinoe sp., were new host records. A new species, H. cluthensis sp. nov. was described from Malmgrenia species in Scottish waters. The large species, Herpyllobius cordiformis Lützen, 1964, was collected in Arctic waters from Eunoe cf. oerstedi. It is the first report of this parasite in Europe. The common parasite H. polynoes (Krøyer, 1864) was found on six different polynoid hosts, three of which, Harmothoe bifera, Malmgreniella mcintoshi Tebble & Chambers, 1982 and Eunoe ?barbata are new host records. Eurysilenium truncatum M. Sars, 1870 was collected from Eucranta villosa Malmgren, 1866, Eunone sp., and Gattyana cirrhosa (Pallas, 1766). The material from Eucranta villosa caught at 72.6ºN comprises both a new host record and is the most northerly report of this parasite. Specimens of Eurysilenium which differed from E. truncatum in a number of features were found on Harmothoe fragilis and H. impar (Johnston, 1839). A new family, the Pholoicolidae, is established to accommodate Pholicola chambersae gen. et sp. nov., parasitic on Pholoe pallida Chambers, 1985. The family Phyllodicolidae was represented by all three of its known species: Phyllodicola petiti (Delamare Deboutteville & Laubier, 1960), Cyclorhiza eteonicola Heegaard, 1942 and C. megalova Gotto & Leahy, 1988. The former was found on Eumida ockelmanni Eibye-Jacobsen, 1987, a new host record. A single ovigerous female of C. eteonicola was collected from a new host, Eteone spetsbergensis Malmgren, 1865. Cyclorhiza megalova was common on Eteone longa (Fabricius, 1780) and E. longa/flava complex. A rich diversity of members of the family Saccopsidae was found, including three known species of Melinnacheres M. Sars, 1870 plus nine new species placed in four new genera. Melinnacheres was represented by M. ergasiloides M. Sars, 1870, M. steenstrupi Bresciani & Lützen, 1961 and M. terebellidis Levinsen, 1878. Melinnacheres ergasiloides was found on Melinna elizabethae McIntosh, 1914, M. steenstrupi on members of the Terebellides stroemi-complex and T. atlantis Williams, 1984, while M. terebellidis was found on the T. stroemi-complex and on T. shetlandica Parapar, Moreira & O'Reilly, 2016. A new genus, Trichobranchicola gen. nov., was established to accommodate T. antennatus gen. et sp. nov., a parasite of Trichobranchus sikorskii Leontovich & Jirkov in Jirkov, 2001, T. glacialis Malmgren, 1866 and Trichobranchus sp. The second new genus, Lanassicola gen. nov., was established to accommodate the type species, Lanassicola arcticus gen. et sp. nov. parasitic on Lanassa venusta (Malm, 1874), plus two additional species, L. bilobatus gen. et sp. nov. on Lanassa nordenskjoeldi Malmgren, 1866, and L. dorsilobatus gen. et sp. nov. on Proclea graffii (Langerhans, 1884). A new subfamily, Euchonicolinae, was established within the Saccopsidae to accommodate two new genera, Euchonicola gen. nov. and Euchonicoloides gen. nov. The type species of Euchonicola gen. nov. is E. caudatus gen. et sp. nov., a parasite of Euchone sp., and it includes two other species, E. linearis gen. et sp. nov. on Chone sp., and E. parvus gen. et sp. nov. on Euchone sp. The type species of Euchonicoloides gen. nov. is E. elongatus gen. et sp. nov. found on a host belonging to the genus Euchone, and it also includes Euchonicoloides halli gen. et sp. nov. from Jasmineira caudata Langerhans, 1880. Four species of the family Xenocoelomidae were found: Xenocoeloma alleni (Brumpt, 1897), X. brumpti Caullery & Mesnil, 1915, X. orbicularis sp. nov. and Aphanodomus terebellae (Levinsen, 1878). Xenocoeloma alleni was found on four different species of Polycirrus and on Amaeana trilobata (M. Sars, 1863) and X. brumpti was found on Polycirrus norvegicus Wollebaek, 1912. Xenocoeloma orbicularis sp. nov. occurred only on Paramphitrite birulai (Ssolowiew, 1899). Aphanodomus terebellae was found on three hosts, only one of which, Leaena abranchiata was new.

Diclidophoroides maccallumi is redescribed from the gills of longfin hake, Phycis chesteri, caught off the coast of Newfoundland in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Specific characteristics such as the number of genital corona spines and morphometric measurements are within the range limits given in previous descriptions of this species from red hake, Urophycis chuss. The detailed morphology of the clamp, the male genital terminalia, and the female reproductive system is presented. This redescription confirms the restoration of Diclidophoroides Price, 1943 (sensu Mamaëv, 1976) as a primitive genus in the subfamily Diclidophorinae. The generic diagnosis of Diclidophoroides should be emended to include the following: in the male genital terminalia, the presence of a prostatic vesicle, and in the clamp, the presence of a partially developed lamellate extension, b, originating from median sclerite a1, with distal attachment to the terminal half of peripheral sclerite c1, with no proximal border between sclerites a2 and c2, and the presence of a sucker in the inner side. Major generic characteristics that differentiate the genera Diclidophoroides and Diclidophora are briefly discussed. The occurrence of Diclidophoroides maccallumi on Phycis chesteri in the Gulf of St. Lawrence represents a northern range extension of the parasite and a new host record, and provides further evidence for the close phylogenetic affinity between Phycis chesteri and the genus Urophycis.
