Miracetyma etimaruya gen. et sp. n. (COPEPODA, POECILOSTOMATOIDA, ERGASILIDAE) FROM FRESHWATER FISHES OF THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON

Abstract: -Miracetyma etimaruya gen. et sp. n. is proposed from the gills filaments of Curimata cyprinoides (Linnaeus, 1758), Potamorhina latior (Spix, 1829) and Psectrogaster essequibensis (Gunther, 1864). The species of the new genus is characterized by having a more complex latching antenna. The claw is greatly reduced and has a groove; the third segment has one or two grooves; the first, second and third segments have one or two cuticular extensions. The legs have pectinate setae and the first endopod is greatly mo… Show more

“…In C. cyprinoides gills from western Amazon (Brazil), ergasilids Miracetyma etimaruya were described (Malta 1993). Domingues and Boeger (2005) reported monogenoideans Rhinoxenus guianensis in nasal cavities of C. cyprinoides from Iracoubo, Degrad Forian (French Guiana).…”

“…In spite of its importance in the region under analysis, the parasite fauna and parasite ecology of this host are poorly known. On gills filaments of C. cyprinoides captured from State of Rondônia (Brazil) the ergasilid Miracetyma etimaruya was identified by Malta (1993). Domingues and Boeger (2005) described Rhinoxenus guianensis, a monogenoidean from the nasal cavities of C. cyprinoides from Iracoubo in French Guiana.…”

“…Therefore, C. cyprinoides has been rarely considered in studies on parasitic ecology. For few species of Curimatidae fish studies on parasite fauna have been carried out AZEVEDO et al, 2011;KOHN;FERNANDES, 1987;KOHN et al, 2011;MALTA, 1993;MOLNAR et al, 1974;MORAVEC, 1998;THATCHER, 2006). However, fish parasites can also be useful as bioindicators of habitat degradation especially when sensitive species are sampled as sentinels.…”

“…Mais de 10.000 espécies são conhecidas. Mas, sobre os harpacticoides bentônicos, os ergasilídeos, os sifonostomatoides associados aos invertebrados marinhos, pouco se conhece (Huys & Boxshall, 1991;Varella & Malta, 1998 Malta, 1995(Malta, 1993a1993b;Varella & Malta, 1998;2009).…”

“…Machos e fêmeas possuem antenas semelhantes, mas as dos machos são menos que a metade do tamanho das antenas das fêmeas Outro apêndice que mostra adaptações estruturais a um modo de vida parasitária é a primeira perna. Esta é morfologicamente diferente das demais com adaptação para a função alimentar levando o tecido do hospedeiro até a boca (Varella, 1985;Malta, 1993a;Varella & Malta, 1998;2009 Thatcher & Paredes (1985) e Malta (1993a;1993b).…”
