Abstract

The current study is a taxonomic account of three gastrotrich species that belong to Chaetonotidae (Phylum Gastrotricha) namely Ichthydium auritum Brunson, 1950 Lepidodermella squamata (Dujardin, 1841) and Chaetonotus anomalus Brunson, 1950. These species are registered as a new record from Iraq and were collected from several locations along the main outfall drain (MOD) in south of Baghdad, from January to December 2020. The species described in this article were found to be related to Hydrilla and Ceratophyllum and prefer environments rich in detritus and decomposing organic matter. The worms preferred water that is salty, hard, alkaline, and had good oxygen content.

伊拉克巴格达南部主要排水口胃吸虫新记录

目前的研究是对属于绒螯蟹科（Gastrotrica门）的三种胃旋毛虫的分类学描述，即金鱼鳍藻Brunson，1950鳞翅目鳞翅目（Dujardin，1841）和无头绒螯蟹Brunson（1950）。这些物种被登记为伊拉克的新记录，于2020年1月至12月在巴格达南部主要排水口（MOD）沿线的几个地点采集。本文中描述的物种被发现与Hydrilla和Ceratophyllum有亲缘关系，更喜欢富含碎屑和分解有机物的环境。蠕虫喜欢含盐、坚硬、碱性且含氧量高的水。
