A combination of classical cytogenetic methods and molecular techniques, including the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping of ribosomal and histone H3, was conducted. The karyotype consisted of three metacentric autosomes and either one submetacentric X chromosome in males or two submetacentric X chromosomes in females, resulting in a chromosome number of 2n = 7/8 (male/female). FISH mapping revealed that the ribosomal genes are located separately, with 18S rDNA situated on the X chromosomes and 5S rDNA on chromosome pair No. 3. The hybridization signals of histone H3 genes were dispersed across all chromosomes without any discernible pattern. Additionally, differential staining identified GC-rich heterochromatin at the ends of all chromosomes. These findings significantly expand the limited karyotypic data available for acanthocephalan parasites, of which the karyotype and/or chromosome number is known for only 1% of described species, and molecular cytogenetic techniques have been applied in just four species. The karyotype characteristics of A.ranae were also compared with other cytogenetically described thorny-headed worms within the order Echinorhynchida.","PeriodicalId":24051,"journal":{"name":"ZooKeys","volume":"1243 ","pages":"173-189"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12239011/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144609760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It enumerates 20 species belonging to two genera, Attagenus (19 species) and Telopes (one species). Six species are newly recorded for the country: Attagenusbarbieri Pic, 1946; A.jakli Háva, 2021; A.kadleci Háva, 2012; A.vanharteni Háva, 2009; A.yemensis Háva & Herrmann, 2014; and Telopestessellatus Reitter, 1887. Morphological examinations led to the exclusion of five previously misidentified species from the Saudi fauna: A.dichrous Roth, 1851; A.fasciolatus (Solsky, 1876); A.heydeni (Reitter, 1881); Telopesobtusus (Gyllenhal in Schönherr, 1808); and Telopesreitteri (Mroczkowski, 1968). The distribution of Attageninae reveals the influence of environmental gradients on species richness, with mid-altitude areas (601-1500 m) serving as biodiversity hotspots, hosting 14 species. Lowland and highland specialists display niche adaptation, with species like A.apicalis and A.logunovi restricted to low altitudes (≤ 600 m) and A.kadleci found exclusively in high-altitude environments (> 2000 m). Approximately 40% of the Attageninae species in Saudi Arabia are found within protected areas. This study identifies five endemic species in the Arabian Peninsula, including one exclusive to Saudi Arabia (A.logunovi). These findings increase the number of known attagenine species by 43% in Saudi Arabia and 7% in the Arabian Peninsula, highlighting the need for systematic surveys and taxonomic revisions to reveal the overlooked biodiversity in the region.","PeriodicalId":24051,"journal":{"name":"ZooKeys","volume":"1243 ","pages":"107-130"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12238960/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144609682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
