“…We consider this synonymisation fully justified. C. carangis was also reported by Velasquez (1966) from Caranx sp. in the Philippines and by Parukhin (1971) and Kataytseva (1975) from the Philippine, Arafura, South China and Red Seas and from the Monar Bay.…”

Abstract. Two new, one known and three unidentified species of the nematode family Camallanidae are reported and described from the intestines of marine perciform fishes off the southwestern coast of New Caledonia, South Pacific: Camallanus carangis Olsen, 1952 from the forked-tailed threadfin bream Nemipterus furcosus (Nemipteridae), the yellowstriped goatfish Upeneus vittatus and the whitesaddle goatfish Parupeneus ciliatus (both Mullidae) (new host records); Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) variolae sp. n. from the white-edged lyretail Variola albimarginata (type host) and the blacktip grouper Epinephelus fasciatus (both Serranidae); Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) longus sp. n. from the twotone tang Zebrasoma scopas (Acanthuridae); Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) sp. 1 (female tail with 2 terminal spikes on a digit-like projection) from the speckled sandperch Parapercis hexophtalma (Pinguipedidae); Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) sp. 2 (female tail with 1 spike on a digit-like projection) from the drab emperor Lethrinus ravus (Lethrinidae) and Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) sp. 3 (female tail with a smooth digit-like protrusion) from the two-lined monocle bream Scolopsis bilineata (Nemipteridae). Camallanus paracarangis Velasquez, 1980 is synonymized with C. carangis. Several additional species of Camallanus from marine fish of the Indo-Pacific region may be synonymous with C. carangis as it has a poorly sclerotized left spicule and 3 small caudal projections on the tail of young (i.e., non-gravid) females. The fourth-stage larva of C. carangis is described for the first time. P. (S.) variolae differs from most similar species of this region mainly in the position (i.e., at level or posterior to the nerve ring) and shape of deirids. P. (S.) longus differs from the similar P. (S.) chaimha mainly in a different arrangement of postanal papillae, shape of the female tail, much longer right spicule (429 µm) and longer body of gravid females (38-55 mm). All Camallanus and Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) spp. reported here represent the first records of camallanids from marine fishes in New Caledonian waters.

“…When the seminal vesicle is replete with sperm no divisions are seen. Yamaguti (1971) placed Lecithochirium neopacificus Velasquez, 1962 into the genus Uterovesiculurus, but Velasquez (1975) retained it in the original genus, since she believed it possessed a pre-somatic pit. Examination of a type-specimen (USNM 59641) showed not only that the specimen has typical Erilepturus terminal genitalia and vitellarium, but also that the feature figured as the pre-somatic pit by Velasquez (1962Velasquez ( , 1975 is an inflated terminal portion of the uterus.…”

“…After recovery, the metacercariae were separated from the digest by several washing and sedimentation cycles, counted, drawn, photographed, and fixed as reference material. The metacercariae were identified using the keys and descriptions published in Velasquez [10,11].…”
