| prosorhynchus maternus sp. n. (digenea: bucephalidae) from the malabar grouper epinephelus malabaricus (perciformes: serranidae) off new caledonia. | a new species, prosorhynchus maternus sp. n., is described from the serranid fish epinephelus malabaricus (bloch et schneider) in the waters off new caledonia. it belongs to a group of prosorhynchus species from serranids in which the uterus is restricted to the postovarian region. its distinguishing features include the vitellarium relatively distant from the rhynchus, the cirrus-sac relatively distant from the posterior testis, the distinctly pre-equatorial mouth and several other somatic rati ... | 2006 | 17120498 |
| bucephalidae (digenea) from epinephelines (serranidae: perciformes) from the waters off new caledonia, including neidhartia lochepintade n. sp. | many bucephalid species, mainly of the subfamily prosorhynchinae, have been described from epinepheline serranids (groupers) throughout the world's oceans. in this paper eight named prosorhynchine species are described and/or illustrated from epinepheline fishes from new caledonia. neidhartia lochepintade n. sp. in epinephelus chlorostigma differs from other neidhartia spp. in various combinations of distinct body-size, rhynchus size, previtelline and pre-mouth distance, post-testicular distance ... | 2013 | 24351242 |
| are all species of pseudorhabdosynochus strictly host specific? a molecular study. | species of the diplectanid monogenean genus pseudorhabdosynochus are strictly host-specific (specialist), with the exception of p. cyanopodus, which was reported in new caledonia, south pacific, from two host species, epinephelus cyanopodus and e. chlorostigma. we sequenced the coi gene of both host fish species and of their monogeneans. morphological identification and pairwise distances showed that the two fish species were distinct (difference 6.1-6.6%), but that their monogeneans were not (d ... | 2012 | 22326703 |
