Popis: | Synodontisia moraveci n. sp. (Oxyuroidea: Pharyngodonidae), described from Osteochilus melanopleurus (Bleeker) (Cyprinidae) from Malaysia, is the 20th species of oxyuroid to be described from fish. It is distinguished from S. thelastomoides Petter, Vassiliades & Troncy, 1972 of Synodontis spp. in Africa by the absence of a spicule and the presence of two separate papillae on the caudal appendage rather than a fused pair as found in S. thelastomoides. The two species of Synodontisia are similar morphologically to some species of Thelastoma Leidy, 1850 of the intestine of Diplopoda, Blattoida and larval Scarabaeidae. The various species are listed with their hosts and geographical distributions, and a key to species is provided. |
