Redescriptions of Ligophorus cephali Rubtsova, Balbuena, Sarabeev, Blasco-Costa & Euzet, 2006 and L. chabaudi Euzet & Suriano, 1977 (Monogenea: Ancyrocephalidae), with notes on the functional morphology of the copulatory organ

Abstract: Redescriptions of Ligophorus cephali Rubtsova, Balbuena, Sarabeev, Blasco-Costa & Euzet, 2006 and L. chabaudi Euzet & Suriano, 1977 based on original material from the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Sea of Japan are presented. A comparison of samples of these two species from different regions was carried out with the aid of principal components analysis. The occurrence of L. chabaudi on Mugil cephalus in the Sea of Japan was confirmed. The functional morphology of the male copulatory organ was exami… Show more

“…But at a large scale, due to coastal nature of mullets, vicariance may explain the occurrence of a large portion of parasite species as, for example, in such widely distributed M. cephalus [43]. Current literature data of Dmitrieva et al [50], Sarabeev et al [17] and the present observations indicate that among the helminth fauna parasitizing this fish only one dactylogyrid monogeneans, Ligophorus chabaudi, was reported in both regions, while all other species of monogeneans, digeneans, acanthocephalans and nematodes occur only in the Mediterranean or in the Sea of Japan ( [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]17,18,33], the present study).…”

“…For Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), some samples of several monogenean species were hydrated, placed in 1% osmium tetroxide overnight, dehydrated in ethanol, air dried and mounted on stubs with double-sided adhesive tape and sputter coated with gold-palladium and examined in Jeol JSM-6510LV at an accelerating voltage of 10 kV. The taxonomic classification and identification of the parasites observed were done on the basis of Bychovskaya-Pavlovskaya et al (1962), Gusev (1985), Sarabeev et al (2005), Dmitrieva et al (2009aDmitrieva et al ( , 2009b, Dzika et al (2009). Infection prevalence and mean intensity were calculated in accordance with Bush et al (1997).…”

“…Parasite descriptions that allow the complete retrocalculation of landmarks are scarce and involve the additional use of angles (e.g. Ernst et al, 2000;Dmitrieva et al, 2007Dmitrieva et al, , 2009. As a consequence, a significant proportion of diagnoses published over the last decades do not properly characterise the shape of the haptoral hard parts.…”
