Abstract
Five new species of Cosmetocleithrum were described parasitizing the gill filaments of neotropical doradid fishes. Cosmetocleithrum undulatum n. sp., Cosmetocleithrum brachylecis n. sp. and Cosmetocleithrum ludovicense n. sp. are described from Platydoras brachylecis from a market-place of São Luís, State of Maranhão, Brazil. Cosmetocleithrum sacciforme n. sp. and Cosmetocleithrum basicomplexum n. sp. are described from Oxydoras niger from Juruá River, State of Acre, Brazil. Cosmetocleithrum undulatum and Cosmetocleithrum brachylecis resemble Cosmetocleithrum falsunilatum Feronato, Razzolini, Morey & Boeger, 2022 mainly by the unique male copulatory organ (MCO) morphology but differ from these and all congeneric species mainly by the morphology of the MCO, accessory piece and hooks pairs. Cosmetocleithrum ludovicense is closer to Cosmetocleithrum confusus Kritsky, Thatcher & Boeger, 1986 and to Cosmetocleithrum akuanduba Soares, Santos Neto & Domingues, 2018 but differs from those mainly by the morphology of the accessory piece. Cosmetocleithrum sacciforme differs from all congeneric species mainly by the morphology of the accessory piece formed by a single plate of saccular appearance. Cosmetocleithrum basicomplexum also shares morphological characters with Cosmetocleithrum gigas Morey, Cachique & Babilonia, 2019 considering the size of the body and shape of the anchors, but differs mainly in the morphology of the bars and hooks. Besides the new species, new data are presented for Cosmetocleithrum leandroi Soares, Neto & Domingues, 2018, C. akuanduba and C. confusus regarding morphological characteristics and biogeography.
期刊介绍:
Parasite is an international open-access, peer-reviewed, online journal publishing high quality papers on all aspects of human and animal parasitology. Reviews, articles and short notes may be submitted. Fields include, but are not limited to: general, medical and veterinary parasitology; morphology, including ultrastructure; parasite systematics, including entomology, acarology, helminthology and protistology, and molecular analyses; molecular biology and biochemistry; immunology of parasitic diseases; host-parasite relationships; ecology and life history of parasites; epidemiology; therapeutics; new diagnostic tools.
All papers in Parasite are published in English. Manuscripts should have a broad interest and must not have been published or submitted elsewhere. No limit is imposed on the length of manuscripts, but they should be concisely written. Papers of limited interest such as case reports, epidemiological studies in punctual areas, isolated new geographical records, and systematic descriptions of single species will generally not be accepted, but might be considered if the authors succeed in demonstrating their interest.
