Orientatractis bowseri n. sp. (Nematoda: Cosmocercoidea: Atractidae) parasite of Peltocephalus dumerilianus (Schweigger) (Testudines: Podocnemididae) from the Brazilian Amazon.
Peltocephalus dumerilianus (Schweigger) is a diurnal freshwater turtle widely distributed in the Orinoco and Amazon River basins in Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, and French Guiana. During a helminthological survey of freshwater turtles from the Brazilian Amazon, numerous nematodes with characteristics of the genus Orientatractis Petter, 1966 were recovered from the stomach of Peltocephalus dumerilianus. These nematodes were different from all congeneric species, and we describe herein. Orientatractis bowseri n. sp. differs from all known species of the genus by having dorsal cuticular projections on the posterior region of the females, distribution of caudal papillae and by having papilla-like ornamentations on the cuticle distributed from the mid-esophagus to the mid portion of the body. This study represents the fourth specie of the genus Orientatractis reported in Brazil, the seventh species of Orientatractis in the Neotropical region, and the third found infecting freshwater turtles in Brazil.
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.
