Abstract

The comparative analysis of records of Elthusa samariscii (Shiino, 1951) from Japan and India, alongside corresponding illustrations, indicates that the records of E. samariscii from Samaris cristatus Gray in India represent a distinct and previously undescribed species. This study introduces Sandythoa tiranga gen. and sp. nov., providing comprehensive descriptions of various lifecycle stages, including the female, male, transitional, premanca, and manca larvae. The following combinations of characters identify the genus: cephalon anterior margin with acute rostrum; pleonite 1 is distinctly narrow, not extending laterally; presence of a narrow gap between pleonites; antenna with more than 10 articles; maxilliped with oostegital lobe. Sandythoa tiranga sp. nov. is specifically identified along the southwest coast of India. Furthermore, we propose transferring the following species from Elthusa: Sandythoa arnoglossi (Trilles and Justine 2006) comb. nov.; Sandythoa parabothi (Trilles and Justine, 2004) comb. nov.; Sandythoa samariscii (Shiino, 1951) comb. nov.; Sandythoa moritakii (Saito and Yamauchi, 2016) comb. nov. A revised key to the global marine branchial cymothoid genera is provided.

描述 Sandythoa gen.

对日本和印度的 Elthusa samariscii (Shiino, 1951) 记录的比较分析，以及相应的插图，表明来自印度 Samaris cristatus Gray 的 E. samariscii 记录代表了一个独特的、以前未曾描述过的物种。本研究介绍了 Sandythoa tiranga gen.以下特征组合可确定该属：头骨前缘有尖锐的喙突；褶1明显狭窄，不向侧延伸；褶之间有狭窄的间隙；触角超过10条；上颚有眶叶。Sandythoa tiranga sp.此外，我们建议将以下物种从 Elthusa 中移出：Sandythoa arnoglossi (Trilles and Justine 2006) comb.本报告提供了全球海洋腮囊藻属的修订版检索表。

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.
