K. Molnar et F. Moravec, SKRJABILLANUS CYPRINI N. SP. (NEMATODA, DRACUNCULOIDEA) FROM THE SCALES OF COMMON CARP CYPRINUS-CARPIO (PISCES) FROM HUNGARY, Systematic parasitology, 38(2), 1997, pp. 147-151
A new species of the histozoic nematode, Skrjabillanus cyprini n. sp.,
is described from the subsquamal part of the scales of common carp Cy
prinus carpio L. from Lake Balaton, Hungary. It differs from the other
three congeneric species mainly in possessing an extremely small, ova
l-shaped buccal capsule with a large tooth at the bottom, in the shape
of the cephalic end (somewhat bulbously inflated, truncated anteriorl
y), the extent of the oesophageal glands and body size (body length of
male and female 1,800-3,000 mu m and 3,200-4,100 mu m, respectively).
A key to the identification of Skrjabillanus spp, is provided.
