Contribuição ao conhecimento das espécies do subgênero Lepidapedon (Lepidapedoides) Yamaguti 1970: (Trematoda, Lepidapedinae)

Abstract

Os autores, no presente trabalho, fazem um estudo da posição sistemática das espécies do subgênero Lepidapedon (Lepidapedoides) Yamaguti, 1970, sendo o mesmo referido pela primeira vez no Brasil. Transferem para este subgênero: L. hancocki Manter, 1940; L. longevesiculum Hafeezullah, 1970 e L. manteri Hafeezullah, 1970. Consideram L. ghanensis Fischthal & Thomas, 1970 sinônimo de L. holocentri Siddiqi & Cable, 1960. Apresentam uma chave de classificação para as espécies pertencentes á Lepidapedon (Lepidapedoides) Yamaguti, 1970. Descrevem e figuram L. (L.) epinepheli Bravo-Hollis & Manter, 1957 em novo hospedeiro.

Four species of Lepidapedoides Yamaguti, 1970 (Digenea: Lepocreadiidae) from fishes of the southern Great Barrier Reef, with a tabulation of host-parasite data on the group

“…Naveira (1976) and Velez (1979) both used Lepidapedoides as a genus nomenclaturally, although making it clear in discussion that they recoguised it as a subgenus taxonomically, and Zdzitowiecki (1993) used the name at the generic level in discussion. Fabio & Rolas (1974) gave a key to the subgenus, and attempted to replace the type-species with L. levenseni (Linton, 1907) based on priority. Bray (1985) pointed out that this action was not correct as it did not accord with the provisions of the ICZN.…”
