Daughter rediae and cercariae of Cercaria problematica Faust, 1924 were found in Semisulcospira reiniana (Brot, 1874) (Gastropoda, Sorbeoconcha, Pleuroceridae) from the same basin. The cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI) of the mitochondrial DNA of the adult and cercaria was partially sequenced. Morphological and molecular studies showed that G. yaritanago and C. problematica are the same species, that the original description by Shimazu et al. (2011) includes some errors of taxonomic importance at the generic level, and that G. yaritanago should be removed to another genus. Allogenarchopsis gen. nov. (Halipeginae) is proposed. The type species is Allogenarchopsis yaritanago (Shimazu et al., 2011) comb. nov. The species name of the taxon is changed from A. yaritanago to Allogenarchopsis problematica (Faust, 1924) comb. nov. (syn. C. problematica, Cercaria manei Ito, 1960, G. yaritanago, A. yaritanago). The adult, daughter redia and cercaria are described and figured.

  • Effects of Trematode Infection on Metabolism and Activity in a Freshwater Snail, Semisulcospira Libertina
    DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Vol. 45: 141–144, 2001 Published June 20 Dis Aquat Org Effects of trematode infection on metabolism and activity in a freshwater snail, Semisulcospira libertina Kazuko Shinagawa*, Misako Urabe**, Makoto Nagoshi*** Department of Biological Science, Faculty of Science, Nara Women’s University, Kitauoyanishi-machi, Nara 630-8506, Japan ABSTRACT: Changes in the metabolism and activity of the freshwater snail Semisulcospira libertina infected with larval trematodes were studied experimentally. In snails up to 11 mm in shell width, crawling distance, feeding frequency, and the proportion of individuals located on vertical walls did not differ among snails infected with mature or immature cercariae, or uninfected snails (p > 0.05). In snails larger than 11 mm, individuals infected with mature cercariae tended to feed more frequently during the light period (p = 0.0081), but the distance they crawled and the proportion of individuals located on vertical walls did not differ, regardless of infection (p > 0.05). Infection with mature cer- cariae significantly increased the oxygen consumption rate (p = 0.016), which was measured only in the large size.

  • Seasonal Reproductive Anatomy and Sperm Storage in Pleurocerid Gastropods (Cerithioidea: Pleuroceridae) Nathan V
    989 ARTICLE Seasonal reproductive anatomy and sperm storage in pleurocerid gastropods (Cerithioidea: Pleuroceridae) Nathan V. Whelan and Ellen E. Strong Abstract: Life histories, including anatomy and behavior, are a critically understudied component of gastropod biology, especially for imperiled freshwater species of Pleuroceridae. This aspect of their biology provides important insights into understanding how evolution has shaped optimal reproductive success and is critical for informing management and conser- vation strategies. One particularly understudied facet is seasonal variation in reproductive form and function. For example, some have hypothesized that females store sperm over winter or longer, but no study has explored seasonal variation in accessory reproductive anatomy. We examined the gross anatomy and fine structure of female accessory reproductive structures (pallial oviduct, ovipositor) of four species in two genera (round rocksnail, Leptoxis ampla (Anthony, 1855); smooth hornsnail, Pleurocera prasinata (Conrad, 1834); skirted hornsnail, Pleurocera pyrenella (Conrad, 1834); silty hornsnail, Pleurocera canaliculata (Say, 1821)). Histological analyses show that despite lacking a seminal receptacle, females of these species are capable of storing orientated sperm in their spermatophore bursa. Additionally, we found that they undergo conspicuous seasonal atrophy of the pallial oviduct outside the reproductive season, and there is no evidence that they overwinter sperm. The reallocation of resources primarily to somatic functions outside of the egg-laying season is likely an adaptation that increases survival chances during winter months. Key words: Pleuroceridae, Leptoxis, Pleurocera, freshwater gastropods, reproduction, sperm storage, anatomy. Résumé : Les cycles biologiques, y compris de l’anatomie et du comportement, constituent un élément gravement sous-étudié de la biologie des gastéropodes, particulièrement en ce qui concerne les espèces d’eau douce menacées de pleurocéridés.

Martens, 1886) in Bukhan River, gonad development, fatness, gonad index, sex ratio, first sexual maturity of population, monthly change of larvae number and developmental stages in brood pouches were investigated by six identification methods. As maturation progrsses, the sex of the snali can be distinguishable easily by color:: the ovary being blue-green and testis light yellow. The sex ratio of female to male individuals over 13.95 mm shell height was significantly different from 1:1 (χ2 = 38.45, p < 0.05). The sex ratio of female to male individuals changed drastically according to the season, Based on the monthly variations of fatness, gonad index and histological analysis, spawning occurred twice a year (spring and autumn) and the mean size of matured eggs was 450 μm in diameter. The monthly change of larval number in brood pouch showed also two distinct peaks in March and September during the year. The average number of larvae in brood pouches was 286 - 862 individuals. In this study, the number of larvae in the brood pouches were a minimum in December and a maximum in March (975 larvae).

ABSTRACT: Daughter sporocysts and cystophorous cercariae were found in the gastropod Cylichna alba (Heterobranchia: Cephalaspidea) from the White Sea. By evidence from the rDNA sequences (partial 28S and 5.8S+ITS2) they match sexual adults identified as Hemiurus levinseni (Digenea: Hemiuroidea: Hemiuridae). We propose an outline of H. levinseni life cycle, describe morphology of its sporocysts and cercariae, and compare the latter with cercariae of other hemiuroideans.

Twenty-four previously known, 2 new, and 4 unidentified species in 17 gen- era and 12 families are recorded. Three dubious literature records are also mentioned. All 30 con- firmed species, except Sanguinicolidae gen. sp. (Aporocotylidae), are described and figured. Life cy- cles are discussed where known. Philopinna kawamutsu sp. nov. (Didymozoidae) was found in the connective tissue between the vertebrae and the air bladder near the esophagus of Nipponocypris tem- minckii (Temminck and Schlegel) (Cyprinidae). Genarchopsis yaritanago sp. nov. (Derogenidae) was found in the intestine of Tanakia lanceolata (Temminck and Schlegel) (Cyprinidae). Asymphylodora innominata (Faust, 1924) comb. nov. is proposed for A. macrostoma Ozaki, 1925 (Lissorchiidae). A key to the families, genera, and species of these digeneans is provided. Host-parasite and parasite- host lists are given. Key words: adult digeneans, Trematoda, parasites, morphology, life cycle, Philopinna kawamutsu sp.

  • Five New Species of the Genus Semisulcospira
    Bulletin of the Mizunami Fossil Museum, no. 44 (2018), p. 59–67, 2 figs. © 2018, Mizunami Fossil Museum Five new species of the genus Semisulcospira (Mollusca: Caenogastropoda: Semisulcospiridae) from the Pleistocene Katata Formation of the Kobiwako Group, Shiga Prefecture, central Japan Keiji Matsuoka* and Osamu Miura** *Toyohashi Museum of Natural History, 1-238 Oana, Oiwa-cho, Toyohashi, Aichi 441-3147, Japan <[email protected]> **Faculty of Agriculture and Marine Science, Kochi University, 200 Monobe, Nankoku, Kochi 783-8502, Japan <[email protected]> Abstract Five new species of the freshwater snail genus Semisulcospira are described from the Pleistocene Katata Formation of the Kobiwako Group in central Japan. Semisulcospira contains two subgenera, Semisulcospira and Biwamelania, and these five new species belong to the subgenus Biwamelania. Semisulcospira (Biwamelania) nakamurai nov. sp., Semisulcospira (Biwamelania) pseudomultigranosa nov. sp., Semisulcospira (Biwamelania) spinulifera nov. sp., Semisulcospira (Biwamelania) kokubuensis nov. sp., and Semisulcospira (Biwamelania) pusilla nov. sp. are described herein. These species appear to be the direct ancestors of fifteen extant species of Biwamelania that have been diversified in Lake Biwa for the last approximately 400,000 years; then, these occurrences can provide valuable information to understand the history of diversification of Biwamelania species in Lake Biwa.

While the subgenus Biwamelania is The genus Semisulcospira Boettger, 1886 is widely currently endemic to Lake Biwa and its drainage, the fossil distributed and one of the most abundant molluscs in species of Biwamelania has a broader distribution range in freshwater environments of East Asia (Davis, 1969; Burch Tokai, Kinki, and Kyushu regions during the Pliocene and et al., 1987; Strong and Köhler, 2009).
