Two new axinid species (Monogenea: Axinidae) from the Pharao flyingfish Cypselurus naresii (Günther) (Beloniformes: Exocoetidae) in the Gulf of Tonkin off Vietnam
Tóm tắt
A total of 21 Pharao flyingfish Cypselurus naresii (Günther) from the Gulf of Tonkin off Vietnam was examined for monogeneans. Ten individuals were parasitised by 72 specimens of two new axinid species of two rare and little known genera, Unnithanaxine Price, 1962 containing only one species, U. parawa (Unnithan, 1957), and Loxuroides Price, 1962 containing two species, L. sasikala (Unnithan, 1957) and L. fungilliformis Zhang, Ding, Liu & Wang, 1999. Unnithanaxine naresii n. sp. and Loxuroides pricei n. sp. are described and differentiated from the related species. Unnithanaxine naresii n. sp. is morphologically similar to U. parawa but is distinguished by the size of the clamps and reproduction organs, the number of spines in the lateral groups of the genital atrium, and in parasitism in a host fish species of a different genus. Loxuroides pricei n. sp. differs from L. fungilliformis in the greater size of the body, the number of clamps, testes, spines on cirrus and genital atrium, and in parasitism in a different host family. Similarly, L. pricei can be separated from L. sasikala in having a shorter distance from the anterior extremity to genital atrium or vaginal region, fewer testes, and a slightly greater number of spines on cirrus and genital atrium.
