A New Species

SummaryA new species of nematode, from the family Spiruridae, is described using parasites from the esophageal mucosa of Proechimys roberti (Rodentia: Echimyidae), which were obtained during a fauna survey in the Tapirapé-Aquirí National Forest, Carajás Reserve, Brazil, Eastern Brazilian Amazon. The helminthes were collected from the esophagus, fixed and processed for light microscopy. Spirura carajaensis n. sp. differs from other species in the genus because it has a left spicule with a well-developed sheath, which is leaf-shaped and covers the terminal half of the spicule. Males and females have a small appendix on the caudal end. This structure has not been reported before for this genus. The present study reports the first record of parasitism by Spirura in rodents of the genus Proechimys in Brazil and in the Amazon biome.

Rat Tail

Samples collected during the Sergipe Continental Slope Environmental Characterization Project coordinated by PETROBRAS (The Brazilian Petroleum Company) revealed a new species of the family Pseudotachidiidae Lang, 1936 (Copepoda, Harpacticoida), Pseudomesochra longiseta sp. nov. This is the first record of the genus Pseudomesochra T. Scott, 1902 for the South Atlantic. Pseudomesochra longiseta sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species of the genus Pseudomesochra by the presence of four sensilla on the rostrum and a very long terminal “rat-tail” seta on the second segment of the antenna. It shares with P. tamara Smirnov, 1946 the addition of one inner seta on the first exopodal segment of the swimming legs 2–4 (P2–P4), a character absent in the remaining species of the genus. Pseudomesochra longiseta sp. nov. is the fourth species described within this genus with 2-segmented P2–P4 endopods. The inclusion of the new species in Pseudomesochra requires the modification of some autapomorphic characters of the genus, the most important being the presence of four sensilla on the rostrum, a character shared with other Pseudotachidiidae.

A new species of Uleiorchis from Serra dos Carajás National Forest, Pará, Brazil, is described. This is the fourth species of this mycoheterotrophic genus. The species is illustrated, its affinities with related species are discussed, and a key to the species of the genus is presented. The new species differs from U. ulei, U. pratënsis and U. liesneri by the extremely elongated pedicel, the ligulate lip with a distal round dilatation, and by the elliptic, smooth stigmatic zone.

We present novelties in Thismiaceae for the south of the Brazilian Amazon, resulting from botanical expeditions in the north of the Mato Grosso State. The occurrence of four species is recorded: Thismia hyalina; T. melanomitra; T. singeri and a species new to science: T. ribeiroi. These are the first records of the family Thismiaceae, as well as of the genus Thismia and these species for the Mato Grosso State. Thismia melanomitra is a new species for the flora of Brazil and T. singeri is the second record of the species for Brazil. In this study, we also describe and illustrate the new species Thismia ribeiroi.

The genus Rapisma McLachlan, 1866 (montane lacewings) is a rare and little known group of the family Ithonidae (Insecta: Neuroptera). There have been 21 described species of Rapisma, and all of them are distributed from East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia. Here I report a new species of Rapisma from northwestern Yunnan, China, namely Rapisma weixiense sp. nov. The new species belongs to a group of Rapisma species with very short antennae.

A New Species

Abstract During a parasitological survey of fishes at Iguazu National Park, Argentina, specimens belonging to the allocreadiid genus Auriculostoma were collected from the intestine of Characidium heirmostigmata. The erection of the new species is based on a unique combination of morphological traits as well as on phylogenetic analysis. Auriculostoma guacurarii n. sp. resembles four congeneric species – Auriculostoma diagonale, Auriculostoma platense, Auriculostoma tica and Auriculostoma totonacapanensis – in having smooth and oblique testes, but can be distinguished by a combination of several morphological features, hosts association and geographic distribution. Morphologically, the new species can be distinguished from both A. diagonale and A. platense by the egg size (bigger in the first and smaller in the last); from A. tica by a shorter body length, the genital pore position and the extension of the caeca; and from A. totonacapanensis by the size of the oral and ventral sucker and the post-testicular space. Additionally, one specimen of Auriculostoma cf. stenopteri from the characid Charax stenopterus (Characiformes) from La Plata River, Argentina, was sampled and the partial 28S rRNA gene was sequenced. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. guacurarii n. sp. clustered with A. tica and these two as sister taxa to A. cf. stenopteri. The new species described herein is the tenth species in the genus and the first one parasitizing a member of the family Crenuchidae.

Four additional species of quill mites of the family Syringophilidae Lavoipierre have now been recorded in England. This includes one new species, Bubophilus aluconis sp. nov., which parasitizes the tawny owl Strix aluco (Strigiformes: Strigidae). It differs from other species of this genus, B. ascalaphus Philips et Norton, 1978 and B. asiobius Skoracki et Bochkov, 2002 by the number of chambers in transverse branch of the peritremes (2-3), the length ratio of setae vi and ve (1:1.6-2), and the lengths of the stylophore and aggenital setae ag1 (180 and 135-145, respectively).
