| a digenean metacercaria from the reef coral, porites compressa, experimentally identified as podocotyloides stenometra. | feeding porites compressa infected with a digenean metacercaria to the coral-feeding butterflyfish, chaetodon multicinctus, established that the metacercaria was podocotyloides stenometra. those and field examinations finding a prevalence of 100% and an average intensity of infection of 6.5 worms/fish in 28 c. multicinctus off kaneohe bay, oahu, hawaii, established this fish as a definitive host. plagioporus sp. of cheng and wong, 1974 is a synonym of p. stenometra. | 1998 | 9920324 |
| chromatophoromas in two species of hawaiian butterflyfish, chaetodon multicinctus and c. miliaris. | chromatophoromas (cutaneous pigment cell tumors) were seen in two species of butterflyfish, chaetodon multicinctus and chaetodon miliaris, over an 11-year period (1976-1987) in waters off the islands of maui, lanai, and molokini in the state of hawaii. the chromatophore tumors found in the brown-barred butterflyfish, c. multicinctus, were predominantly iridophoromas (characterized by the presence of birefringent olive-green crystalline pigment), while the tumors in the lemon butterflyfish, c. mi ... | 1988 | 3212887 |
