Abstract
ABSTRACT Twenty-eight Australian fish species were infected with 18 taxa of Arhythmacanthidae; 11 characterised to species, 4 to genus and 3 to family. Diagnoses are provided for the genera Heterosentis, Hypoechinorhynchus, Paracanthocephaloides and Yamagutirhynchus n. gen. Heterosentis has four Australian species: H. hirsutus Pichelin & Cribb, 1999, H. paraplagusarium (Nickol, 1972), H. plotosi Yamaguti, 1935, H. lisitsynae n. sp., defined by a proboscis armature of 14–16 rows of 8–9 hooks, 4 large, 4–5 spiniform, and three indeterminate species, two from Western Australia, one from Queensland. Hypoechinorhynchus is represented by Hy. robustus Pichelin, 1999 and Hy. alaeopis Yamaguti, 1939. Paracanthocephaloides is represented in Australia by one indeterminate species and three new species: P. bartonae n. sp. has an armature of 14–16 rows of 3 large, 7 spiniform hooks; P. hustoni n. sp. 12 rows of 5–6 hooks, 2 large, 3–4 spiniform; P. shamsiae n. sp. 12 rows of 5–6 hooks, 2 large, 3–4 spiniform. Paracanthocephaloides cabelleroi (Guptar & Fatma, 1983) is returned to the genus Heterosentis. Paracanthocephaloides golvani Chandra, Hanumantha-Rao & Shyamasundari, 1984 is moved to the genus Gorgorhynchoides as G. golvani n. comb. Yamagutirhynchus n. gen. has a cylindrical proboscis with an expanded middle region. Yamagutirhynchus lymberyi n. sp. and Y. elliotae n. sp. both have proboscis armatures of 10 rows of 4–5 hooks; for Y. lymberyi the largest hooks are 42.5 μm long; for Y. elliotae, 51 μm.
期刊介绍:
Published since 1880, the Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia is a multidisciplinary journal that aims to publish high quality, peer-reviewed papers of particular relevance to Australasia.
There is a particular focus on natural history topics such as: botany, zoology, geology, geomorphology, palaeontology, meteorology, geophysics, biophysics, soil science and environmental science, and environmental health. However, the journal is not restricted to these fields, with papers concerning epidemiology, ethnology, anthropology, linguistics, and the history of science and exploration also welcomed.
Submissions are welcome from all authors, and membership of the Royal Society of South Australia is not required.
The following types of manuscripts are welcome: Reviews, Original Research Papers, History of Science and Exploration, Brief Communications, Obituaries.
