AbstractSix species of parasitic copepods were collected from 63 specimens of Isurus oxyrinchus, taken in the Central Atlantic. The occurrence of Pandarus floridanus on this shark constitutes a new host record. Pandarus floridanus was found in the mouth and on the gills of its host. Previous records are apparently from the surface of the body.

AbstractSix species of Bucephalidae are reported: Subfamily Bucephalinae: Bucephalus sphyraenae Yamaguti, 1952 from Sphyraena obtusata and S. chrysotaenia (Sphyraenidae) (new host records); Bucephalus margaritae Ozaki and Ishibashi, 1934 from Atropus atropos, Scomberoides commersonianus, Carangoides malabaricus (Carangidae), Gerres filamentosus (Gerreidae) (new host record) and Sphyraena jello (new host record); Rhipidocotyle pseudorhombi n. sp. from Pseudorhombus arsius is characterized by and differs from its congeners by several characteristics including an elongate body, a rhynchus with 7 thin papillae, a long tuular caecum extending posteriorly to the ovarian level, goads in the posterior half of the body, and contiguous testes not separated by uterine coils. More specifically it differs from R. heptathelata and R. septapapillata by having a long cirrus sac relative to body length, tandem and more anterior testes. Subfamily Prosorhynchinae: Prosorhynchus pacificus Manter, 1940 from Epinephelus tauvina (Serranidae) and Gnathonodon speciosus (Carangidae) (new host record); P. epinepheli Yamaguti, 1939 from Epinephelus areolatus; P. manteri Srivastava, 1938 from Trichiurus lepturus (Trichiuridae). All species, except Prosorhynchus epinepheli represent new records from the Arabian Gulf.

AbstractA new strigeid digenean, Strigea inflecta sp. nov., is described from the small intestine of the Red-legged Seriema, Cariama cristata (L.) (Gruiformes, Cariamidae) from Formosa Province, Argentina. This species is characterized by having a body plump, a cup-shaped forebody with a large opening, a sacciform hindbody, without a neck region and strongly curved dorsally, a poorly delimited copulatory bursa, wider than longer, a shallow and asymmetrical genital atrium, and a genital cone well delimited from body parenchyma, strongly muscular, inclined towards the surface ventral of the body. Another digenean species collected from Red-legged Seriema, Brachylaima yupanquii Freitas, Kohn et Ibáñez, 1967 (Brachylaimidae) is described with the addition of new morphological characters and morphometrical data. This species is reported for the first time in Argentina and C. cristata represents a new host record.

From May to October of 2006 we collected 143 louse flies of the genus Lipoptena on the body surface of 16 pampas deer Ozotocerus bezoarticus captured in four farms from the central area of the Brazilian Pantanal wetlands. We also examined 172 cattle individuals and none of them had louse flies. Most of the parasites identified were Lipoptena guimaraesi but one specimen of L. mazamae was also found, representing a new host record for this ked fly. The prevalence of L. guimaraesi was 93.8%, the mean intensity of infestation was 9.5, and the index of discrepancy was 0.444.

Parasitism of the lizard Tropidurus hispidus by Geckobiella sp. and by larvae of Eutrombicula alfreddugesi was examined in a mountainous area in Chapada do Araripe (07° 16' S and 39° 26' W), southern Ceará State, Brazil. Of the 56 lizards collected (26 females, 27 males, and 3 juveniles), 40 (total prevalence of 71.42%) were infested by mites. Mite-pockets were the sites most heavily infested by E. alfreddugesi larvae, while Geckobiella sp. was found uniformly distributed under scales over the host's entire body. The female specimens of T. hispidus parasitised by E. alfreddugesi had an average infestation rate of 8.57 ± 3.62, 1-27, while the males had an average infestation rate of 11.90 ± 2.63, 1-25. The female specimens parasitised by Geckobiella sp. had an average infestation rate of 5.91 ± 2.28, 1-25, while the males had an average infestation rate of 5.43 ± 1.52, 1-23. Seven specimens were also infested by eggs and immature forms of unidentified mites (average 2.28 ± 0.89, 1-7). There were no significant differences between the total prevalence of mites on adult male (70.4%) and adult female (65.4%) lizards. The body sizes of the hosts did not influence their infestation rates. The average infestation intensity by E. alfreddugesi (10.2 ± 8.7) was significantly greater than the average infestation intensity by Geckobiella sp. (5.9 ± 6.8). T. hispidus is the new host record to Geckobiella mites.

AbstractFemale specimens of a little-known philometrid nematode, Nilonema senticosum (Baylis, 1927), were collected from the swimbladder of the arapaima, Arapaima gigas, from the Amazon River basin (Iquitos, Loreto District) in Peru. Scanning electron microscopical (SEM) examination, used for the first time in this species, made it possible to reveal some taxonomically important, previously unreported features of N. senticosum, such as the presence of minute cephalic papillae (10 papillae in 2 circles) and amphids surrounding the small oral aperture, and to confirm the absence of an anal opening in this species. Males and females of another philometrid, Alinema amazonicum (Travassos, 1960), were recovered from the body cavity of the pimelodid catfishes Calophysus macropterus and Brachyplatystoma juruense (a new host record) from the Amazon River basin (fish market in Iquitos, Loreto District) in Peru. SEM examination, not previously used in the male of A. amazonicum, enabled to study in detail the male cephalic and caudal structures.

In this paper the authors refere Philometra lateolabracis Yamaguti, 1935 for the first time from the Atlantic Ocean also as a new host record. They report the rpesence of one male of diminished dimensions, found in close relationship with the females of Ph. lateolabracis; as the male of this species is unknown, they admit the possibility of this small nematode be the male of this species.

Sixty-seven salmonids and coregonids (32 Salvelinus fontinalis, 3 Salmo salar, 22 Salmo trutta, 10 Coregonus clupeaformis), caught at various locations on the Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland, were examined for metazoan parasites, during the period November 15, 1968–June 12, 1969. Eight genera of helminths (two of Monogenea, three of Digenea, one each of Cestoda, Nematoda, Acanthocephala) and one of parasitic copepods (Ergasilus) were recovered. This number includes one new host record and two new host records for Newfoundland.

AbstractOswaldofilaria acanthosauri sp. nov. from the body cavity of the Cardamom Mountain horned agamid, Acanthosaura cardamomensis (Sauria: Agamidae), collected in Pursat Province, Cambodia is described. Of the 14 species assigned to Oswaldofilaria, O. acanthosauri sp. nov. is most similar to those species with spicular ratio of less than 2, namely, O. brevicaudata and O. chlamydosauri. Oswaldofilaria acanthosauri sp. nov. is easily separated from these 2 species in that O. brevicaudata is a South American species and in O. chlamydosauri the distal ends of the spicules are pointed not blunt. Mature individuals of 2 additional species of Nematoda, Meteterakis singaporensis and Orneoascaris sandoshami, as well as larvae assignable to Ascariidae were found. Acanthosaura cardamomensis represents a new host record for Meteterakis singaporensis, Orneoascaris sandoshami and Ascariidae (larvae).
