Sur un distome du genre tamerlania K. I. Skrjabin 1924 avec un catalogue des trématodes des reins d’oiseaux

Abstract

Par Robert-Ph. DOLLFUS Les Trématodes des reins (et des voies urinaires) des Oiseaux sont encore très peu et très mal connus. Je donne ici un aperçu de l'ensemble de nos connaissances sur ces parasites à l'occasion de la description d'un Tamerlania récolté à Richelieu (Indre-et-Loire).

The Helminth Parasites of Birds. I. A Review of the Trematode Genus Tanaisia Skrjabin, 1924

“…Ejsriiont (1931Ejsriiont ( , 1932 studied specimens from the same host and concluded that the genus and species as proposed by Korkhaus were synonymous with Tanaisia fedtschenkoi Skrjabin. The present writcrs are in complete agreement with Cheatum (1938) and Dollfus (1946) in accepting Ejsmont's opinion.…”

“…In a like manner the writers agree with Yamaguti (1941) in believing Tamerlania japonica Yamaguti, 1935, to be identical with 7. zarudnyi. Further, the present workers can find no reason for not accepting Dollfus' (1946) declaration of the synonymity of his newly created species, T. gallica, with T. zarudnyi.…”

“…In a like manner, the esophagus was observed in T. melospizae by Penner (1939) and by Dollfus (1946) in T. zarudnyi (= T. gallica). The same observation is made by the present writers on specimens identified as T. zarudnyi and Lepidopteria atra.…”

“…The discovery of an acetabulum in specimens identified as Tamerlania zarudnyi by Shtrom (1935) has been overlooked until Dollfus (1946) called attention to Shtrom's work. However, Maldonado (1943) observed a definite ventral sucker in all of the cercariae developing in the !and snail, Subulina oclona, which he experimentally infected with ova from T. bragai Santos.…”

“…Tamerlania melospizae was added to the generic group by Penner (1939) as a result of material collected from a sparrow in Minnesota, U. S. A. The last species to be added to the genus was described by Dollfus (1946) under the name of T. gallica. The material studied by Dollfus came from birds in France.…”
