| redescriptions of genera raphidascaris railliet et henry, 1915 and paranisakis baylis, 1923 (nematoda: heterocheilidae), and paracamallanus yorke and maplestone, 1926 (nematoda: camallanidae) from fish of andhra pradesh. | the present paper deals with the redescriptions of the species of a nematode of the families, heterocheilidae railliet et henry, 1915 and camallanidae railliet et henry, 1915 from the intestine and stomach of marine fishes, epinephelus areolatus (forskål), tachysurus tenuispinis (day), johnius diacantus (lecépède), ilisha filigera (valenciennes), pomadasys maculatus (blooch). dasyatis (himantura) uarnak (forskål), pterois russelli bennett, scoliodon sorrakowah (cuvier) and carangoides malabaricu ... | 1989 | 2487509 |
| dendromonocotyle colorni sp. n. (monogenea: monocotylidae) from the skin of himantura uarnak (dasyatididae) from israel and a new host record for d. octodiscus from the bahamas. | dendromonocotyle colorni sp. n. (monogenea: monocotylidae) is described from the dorsal skin surface of two specimens of himantura uarnak (forsskål) kept at the eilat underwater observatory in israel. dendromonocotyle colorni is distinguished from the other eight species in the genus by the morphology of the terminal papillar sclerite on the haptor, the distal portion of the male copulatory organ and the morphology of the vagina. the development of the male copulatory organ is detailed for d. co ... | 2001 | 11266131 |
| a redescription of the fish leech pterobdella amara (= rhopalobdella japonica) (hirudinida: piscicolidae) based on specimens from the type locality in india and from australia. | pterobdella amara is redescribed from specimens from the type locality in india, and from the type host in queensland, australia. a neotype is designated from the type locality. the presence of conspicuous finlike bodies along the lateral margins of p. amara was greatly exaggerated in the original description. the trachelosome and anterior portion of the urosome are wide and flat, but there are no finlike bodies present. the urosome tapers abruptly posterior to the flattened portion, becomes cyl ... | 2006 | 16995381 |
| the cestode order rhinebothriidea no longer family-less: a molecular phylogenetic investigation with erection of two new families and description of eight new species of anthocephalum. | the spiral intestines of a total of 30 specimens of 14 species of batoids from around the world were examined for rhinebothriideans. these consisted of taeniura grabata, dasyatis margaritella, and dasyatis sp. from senegal, dasyatis americana from florida, dasyatis dipterura and dasyatis longa from méxico, himantura jenkinsii, himantura leoparda, himantura uarnak 2, urogymnus asperrimus 1, and neotrygon kuhlii 4 from australia, in addition to himantura uarnacoides and neotrygon kuhlii 1 from bor ... | 2015 | 25660771 |
| studies on the new species tylocephalum chiralensis, parasite from dasyatis (himantura) uarnak (förskal) from chirala coast, andhra pradesh, india. | a new species of the cestode genus tylocephalum obtained from the host dasyatis uarnak is described. a detailed examination of specimens have allowed us to erect a new species tylocephalum to accommodate the worm. it shows remarkable differences from other known species of tylocephalum in large size of the worm, absence of neck, variation in number of testes arrangement of vitellaria and genital openings. the new species is designated as tylocephalum chiralensis. | 1995 | 8762670 |
| microhabitat selection by marine mesoconsumers in a thermally heterogeneous habitat: behavioral thermoregulation or avoiding predation risk? | habitat selection decisions by consumers has the potential to shape ecosystems. understanding the factors that influence habitat selection is therefore critical to understanding ecosystem function. this is especially true of mesoconsumers because they provide the link between upper and lower tropic levels. we examined the factors influencing microhabitat selection of marine mesoconsumers - juvenile giant shovelnose rays (glaucostegus typus), reticulate whiprays (himantura uarnak), and pink whipr ... | 2013 | 23593501 |
| seussapex, a new genus of lecanicephalidean tapeworm (platyhelminthes: cestoda) from the stingray genus himantura (myliobatiformes: dasyatidae) in the indo-west pacific with investigation of mode of attachment. | a new lecanicephalidean genus, seussapex gen. n., is erected for specimens collected from stingrays from the indo-west pacific resembling the little known species tenia [sic] narinari maccallum, 1917 from the spotted eagle ray, aetobatus narinari (euphrasen). members of this new genus are unique in their possession of a multi-tiered apical structure comprising a bipartite apical modification of the scolex proper, and an externally bipartite apical organ with anterior and posterior glandular comp ... | 2014 | 25065129 |
