Abstract
Examining the intestinal cestode fauna of the shark species Carcharhinus dussumieri (Müller and Henle), C. sorrah (Müller and Henle), C. leucas (Müller and Henle), and Rhizoprionodon acutus (Rüppell) from the Persian Gulf and C. macloti (Müller and Henle) from the Gulf of Oman resulted in the description of three new species of the tetraphyllidean genus Anthobothrium van Beneden, 1850, along with the establishment of new host and locality records. Anthobothrium afsanae sp. nov. and A. barsami sp. nov. were found in C. dussumieri and C. sorrah. Carcharhinus macloti was the additional host of A. barsami and new host record for A. parimae Sadeghi Kamachali and Haseli, 2022, for which a new locality record was established in the Gulf of Oman. Carcharhinus leucas is the type host of A. elenae sp. nov. and a new host record for A. lesteri Williams, Burt and Caira, 2004. A new locality record for A. lesteri is the Persian Gulf, which is far away from the type locality, Australia. Rhizoprionodon acutus is new host record for A. samae Sadeghi Kamachali and Haseli, 2022 and A. shayani Sadeghi Kamachali and Haseli, 2022. With 14 valid species of Anthobothrium and given the relatively uniform morphology of members of this genus, a key to the species of Anthobothrium is presented. The biogeographical distribution and host specificity are also discussed for the species of Anthobothrium.
期刊介绍:
Systematic Parasitology publishes papers on the systematics, taxonomy and nomenclature of the following groups: Nematoda (including plant-parasitic), Monogenea, Digenea, Cestoda, Acanthocephala, Aspidogastrea, Cestodaria, Arthropoda (parasitic copepods, hymenopterans, mites, ticks, etc.), Protozoa (parasitic groups), and parasitic genera in other groups, such as Mollusca, Turbelleria, etc. Systematic Parasitology publishes fully illustrated research papers, brief communications, and fully illustrated major revisions. In order to maintain high standards, all contributors describing new taxa are asked to state clearly where the holotype is deposited and to make paratypes available for examination by the referees. It is recognized that, in some cases, this may cause problems for the authors, but it is hoped that by adhering to this rule authors may be protected against rapid synonymy of their taxa, and the types will be preserved for posterity.
