AbstractAn immature parafilarial worm recovered from the anterior chamber of the eye of a buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is described. On the basis of characteristic cuticular ornamentation at the anterior extremity, an undivided short oesophagus and unequal spicules, the specimen has been identified tentatively as a male juvenile of Parafilaria bovicola. This is the first record for P. bovicola as an accidental infection of the eye of a buffalo.

Abstract The genus Cotylophoron belongs to the Paramphistomidae family and its definitive hosts are ruminants in general. This work describes the presence of a new species of the gender, a parasite in the rumen and reticulum of Bubalus bubalis, on Marajó Island in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon, using of light microscopy, scanning electronic microscopy and molecular biology techniques. One hundred and ten animals were analyzed, of which 4.54% were parasitized by flukes in their adult forms. The helminths were found fixed to the ruminal mucosa and present Liorchis-type pharynx, Cotylophoron-type genital sucker, oblique testicles larger than the ovary, uterus in rings full of eggs and Cotylophoron-type acetabulum. These morphologic characters do not fit into any previously described species. Thus, it is proposed that this is a new species in the genus Cotylophoron. The present work expands the record of parasitism by helminths in Bubalus bubalis, this being the first record of trematoda from the genus Cotylophoron for this host in the Brazilian Amazon.

Suphisellus epleri sp. nov. is described from Veracruz, Mexico. The new species is characterized by (1) size; (2) elytra brownish-red, moderately punctate, each with three light-yellow spots; and (3) aedeagus with median lobe curved with width nearly uniform along its length. In appearance, S. epleri is very similar to S. neglectus Young 1979 with which it is here compared based on specimens collected from Colombia and Venezuela. Suphisellus epleri is distinguished by having a slightly broader anterior extremity of prosternal process and a slender median lobe that is not distinctly expanded at apex, as in S. neglectus. The first record of S. neglectus in Venezuela is also reported. Descriptions, images and illustrations of diagnostic characters, and differential diagnosis of S. epleri are provided.

A Helorid wasp, Helorus ruficornis Förster, 1856, is reported for the first time on Tahiti (Society Islands), which is also the first record of both Proctotrupoidea and family Heloridae in French Polynesia. The potential hosts of Helorus ruficornis in French Polynesia are discussed.

Objetivo: Analizar los principales indicadores asociados al manejo cultural del sistema búfalo en el sur de Veracruz, México (municipios de Acayucan, Sayula, Minatitlán, Soconusco, Hidalgotitlán, San JuanEvangelista, Las Choapas, Oluta, Jesús Carranza y Valle de Uxpanapan), para el desarrollo sustentable.Diseño/metodología/aproximación: El método de análisis de la presente investigación fue de tipo cuantitativo y el instrumento fue el cuestionario, los resultados se procesaron en el software estadísticoDYANE ver. 4.0 y los indicadores de sustentabilidad fueron desarrollados a partir de tres ejes transversales (social, económico y productivo).Resultados: Los resultados muestran valores elevados en los indicadores económicos, debido a que los productores perciben que la actividad ganadera con búfalos, es un negocio rentable.Limitaciones del estudio/implicaciones: En el eje productivo correspondió al patrón socio-cultural de la ganadería en el trópico, el cual se perpetúa generación tras generación, por el sistema social en elcual está inserto; sin embargo, se recomienda desarrollar el potencial en los ejes social, productivo y económico hacia la sustentabilidad del sistema búfalo.Hallazgos/conclusiones: Destacan indicadores del eje económico, debido a la percepción de rentabilidad; pero falta realizar actividades para el desarrollo sustentable en los ejes económico, social y productivo.
