Hemiuriformes de peces marinos de la Bahía de Chamela, México, con la descripción de una nueva especie del género Hysterolecitha (Digenea: Hemiuridae: Lecithasterinae)

Abstract

THE FOLLOWING SPECIES ARE DESCRIBED, FIGURED AND/OR RECORDED FROM 1102 HOSTS REPRESETING 114 SPECIES FROM CHAMELA BAY, JALISCO, MEXICO: PARAHEMIURUS MERUS LINTON, 1910, LECITHOCHIRIUM MICROSTOMUN CHANDLER, 1935, MYOSACCIUM MERUS MONTGOMERY, 1957, OPISTHADENA DIMIDIA LINTON, 1910, LEURODERA PACIFICA MANTER, 1940, GONOCERCELLA PACIFICA MANTER, 1940, DINURUS LONGISINUS LOOSS, 1907, DINURUS SCOMBRI YAMAGUTI, 1934, ECTENERUS VIRGULUS, LINTON, 1910, HYSTEROLECITHA SONIAE SP. NOV., APONURUS LAGUNCULA LOOSS, 1907, SYNAPTOBOTHRIUM APHAREI (YAMAGUTI, 1970) N. COMB., LARVAS DE LA SUBFAMILIA DIDYMOZOINAE, HIRUDINELLA VENTRICOSA PALLAS, 1777 Y PROSORCHIOPSIS LEGENDREI DOLLFUS, 1947. HYSTELOLECITHA SONIAE SP. NOV. THE NEW SPECIES OF HYSTEROLECITHA DIFFERS FROM OTHER MEMBERS OF THE GENUS BY HAVING A ROUND SEMINAL VESICLE, A PROSTATIC VESICLE CONNECTED WITH THE SINUS SAC THROUGH A LONG AND SINUOS DUCT AND WELL DEVELOPTED SINUS SAC WITH A BIPARTITE HERMAPHRODITIC VESICLE INSIDE. THE GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION AND HOST SPECIFICITY, AS A RESULT OF THE COLONIZATION CAPABILITY OF REGISTRED SPECIES, IS DISCUSSED. THE NEED OF ACCOMPLISHING GENERIC REVISIONS WHICH, TOGETHER WITH PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSES, ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NATURAL SHEME OF CLASSIFICATION, IS STRESSED.
