Ergasilus triangularis sp. n. (COPEPODA: ERGASILIDAE) das BRÂNQUIAS de Laemolyta taeniata (KNER, 1859), (CHARACIFORMES: ANOSTOMIDAE) DA AMAZÔNIA BRASILEIRA

Abstract: RESUMO -Ergasilus triangularis sp. nov. (Copepoda, Poecilostomatoida, Ergasilidae) é proposta. Os espécimens foram coletados dos filamentos branquiais de Laemolyta taeniata dos rios Jamari, Guaporé e Pacaás Novos do estado de Rondônia, Brasil. A nova espécie tem um espinho forte, pectinado e falciforme no artículo terminal do exopodito da primeira perna, indicando uma relação com outras sete espécies amazônicas de Ergasilus. Esta espécie difere das outras no tamanho dos espécimes, forma da antena e na ornament… Show more

“…Despite the richness of fish species in the Neotropical region, relatively little is known about their helminth parasites. In Brazil, only the copepod Ergasilus triangularis Malta, 1996 has been described parasitizing L. taeniata from the Jamari River in the state of Rondônia (Malta, 1996). Thus, the present article contributes towards increasing our knowledge of the nematode parasites of fish and towards expanding the geographical distribution of these worms.…”

“…Curimata acutirostris Vari & Reis, 1995 (Curimatidae, Characiformes) is an endemic fish from the Araguaia-Tocantins basin (Ribeiro et al, 1995;Bartolette et al, 2017). To date, in Brazil, no species of helminths have been collected from C. acutirostris and L. taeniata, although a single species of copepod has been described from L. taeniata (Malta, 1996).…”
