Nomimoscolex pertierrae n. sp. (Eucestoda: Proteocephalidea), a parasite of Pseudoplatystoma corruscans (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae) in Brazil and redescription of N. sudobim Woodland, 1935, a parasite of P. fasciatum

Abstract: The cestode Nomimoscolex sudobim Woodland, 1935 (Proteocephalidea) is redescribed on the basis of its type-specimens and recently collected material found in the intestine of the 'sudobim' Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae) (type-host), from the Amazon River (near the type-locality). Nomimoscolex pertierrae n. sp. is described from the 'surubi' Pseudoplatystoma corruscans from the Paraná River around Porto Rico. Among fifteen known Nomimoscolex species, only N. sudobim possess a cortical ut… Show more

“…Judging from the original descriptions and drawings, only 3 out of 27 Ophiotaenia species parasitic in snakes of the New World, namely O. azevedoi, O. euzeti, and O. gilberti, harbour this character. Since this character is constant, it represents a good discriminative feature, as already pointed out for Nomimoscolex Woodland, 1934 by de Chambrier et al (2006).…”
