INTRODUCTION The aim of the 4-year project FAUNA EUROPAEA (hereafter FaEu) is to provide an electronic database focussing on the scientific names and known national /provincial distributions for the ± 100,000 species of terrestrial and limnic metazoans occurring in Europe. It should be emphasised that it is not the scope of the FaEu database to serve as a comprehensive nomenclatorial resource with complete synonymy, indication of type species, type specimens, depositories etc. The backbone of the FaEu database will be the list of accepted scientific names for the different species of animals recognised in Europe linked with information on important synonymy and national / provincial occurrences. Entries in the FAUNA EUROPAEA database will be linked to external databases containing extended information such as vernacular names in many European languages and conservational status, regionally and nationally. This task will primarily be dealt with by the FaEu project office in Paris and thus of minor concern to the Group Coordinators and Taxonomic Specialists. Which species-group taxa should be included? Information on individual species is the main focus of the FaEu database project, but even subspecies may be recorded in some groups (e.g. birds, butterflies and snails), in which they are widely recognised and used. The FaEu database should include all scientifically named and described species (or subspecies) regarded as distinct and belonging to one of the following categories: • Indigenous, i.e. species naturally belonging to the area, either permanently or as regular (seasonal or occasional) migrants. All species recorded after 1600 should be included, but instances of extinction after that date, regionally or locally, should of course be mentioned under ‘Faunistic Comments’. • Adventitious, i.e. species that have been introduced into the area; these include organisms that have become naturalised in existing ecosystems invasive organisms that successfully tend to disrupt existing ecosystems synanthropic organisms that can only establish spontaneous, viable populations in ‘man-made’ habitats Remark: Faunistic records of pest species, whether medical, sanitary or agricultural, covered by current quarantine legislations should take utmost care to clearly indicate, in the ‘Faunistic Comments’ field, if these are based only on past occurrences. • Cryptogenic, i.e. widespread species not demonstrably indigenous or adventitious in the area Valid species-group taxa belonging to one of the following categories should be excluded from the FaEu list: • Domesticated, exotic and other species that do not establish spontaneous, viable populations out of human captivity. Examples: livestock, pets and Zoo animals. • Exotic imports or casual intruders that for climatic or other reasons cannot establish spontaneous, viable populations. • Truly fossil or sub fossil species (incl. species that have suffered regional extinction before 1600) Species found in waters with a low salinity pose a special problem. Those occurring exclusively in brackish seas and adjacent seacoasts should obviously be excluded. However, estuarine species occurring regularly in habitats with fluctuating salinity, e.g. river mouths and semi-closed coastal waters should normally be included. II. TAXONOMY Classification – A taxonomic framework is necessary in order to keep track of the thousands of records on species-group taxa to be incorporated into the FaEu database. Well suited for that purpose is the hierarchic classification of scientific names founded by Carolus Linnaeus more than two centuries ago and still ‘under construction’ by the global community of comparative zoologists. Linnaean classification allows one to choose among hierarchic structures of varying detail. Higher classification. – For taxa above the family-group (not covered by the provisions of the Zoological Code!) the names and classification adopted by FaEu should follow ‘present opinion’ among the specialists as far as there exist competing names (synonyms) and competing classifications (different ranks and sequences). For the purposes of the FaEu database the structure of the higher classification is a minor issue, and things might here be kept relatively simple by recognition of very few categories such as phylum - class - order. APPENDIX 1 provides a discussion proposal on a higher classification of European metazoans based on a variety sources, e.g. the Zoological Record/Biosis and Encyclopedia Britannica. An emended and simplified version of the higher classification given in APPENDIX 1, as approved by leading specialists in the field, will eventually be adopted by the FaEu project. Lower classification. – As presently defined, this involves the family-, genus- and species-group categories. Three categories only are mandatory: family - genus - species. The Group Coordinators in agreement with the associated Taxonomic Specialists will decide whether to keep the lower classification in the FaEu database simple or complex. Complex hierarchies are for obvious reasons most useful in very species-rich groups. The following are examples of simple and complex classificatory hierarchies for one particular species: PHYLUM: Arthropoda CLASS: Insecta ORDER: Coleoptera FAMILY: Staphylinidae GENUS: Staphylinus SPECIES: Staphylinus erythropterus PHYLUM: Arthropoda CLASS: Insecta ORDER: Coleoptera SUPERFAMILY: Staphylinoidea FAMILY: Staphylinidae SUBFAMILY: Staphylininae TRIBE: Staphylinini GENUS: Staphylinus SPECIES: Staphylinus erythropterus It will also be left to the Group Coordinators and Taxonomic Specialists to decide on the sequence by which taxon names within the -, genus- and species-group categories are entered into the database. It should be emphasised, however, that all taxa of the same rank that belong to the same parent taxon will automatically be put in alphabetical order in the database. The accepted names for taxa of the family-, genus-, and species-groups are generally established on basis of the priority principle and other provisions of the Zoological Code. The preferred nomenclature in the genus- and species-group categories will normally follow the taxonomic state-of-the-art from the most recent catalogues, revisions, monographs and nomenclatorial acts. Most specialists do not consider the FaEu database a convenient place for the proposal of new nomenclatorial acts such as new names, new synonymies, new combinations or other changes in the status or application of scientific names. For the same reason, contributors are encouraged to avoid such new proposals in the database and instead to publish them elsewhere. For many taxa there exist a substantial amount of reliable, but unpublished faunistic records. Specialists are encouraged to enter such new faunistic data in order to make the FaEu database the ultimate source on country-based occurrences of animals in Europe. It is recommended that – as a minimum – the depositories for specimens documenting new country records are given in the ‘Faunistic comment’ field (e.g., ‘!NL (RMNH)’, which means new (!) record for the Netherlands based on material in the National Museum of Natural History, Leiden). Nomenclature Treatment of accepted taxon names. – The formation and treatment of scientific names in FaEu context must follow the provisions of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, 4th ed. ICZN 1999. Citation of authorship and date for scientific names is – for database purposes – essential in the genus- and species- groups. A few controversial items relating to the formation of species names (= binomina) and authorship are emphasised below: • Spelling of specific names treated as Latin adjectives: – Opinions have been divided between a spelling conforming with usage, with original spelling, or with generic gender. It should be stressed, however, that the ‘generic gender’ choice is mandatory

Manter Laboratory of Parasitology, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE 68588-0514, USA [email protected]; http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5041-8582 Abstract Of 32 papers including Acanthocephala that were published in Zootaxa from 2001 to 2020, 5, by 11 authors from 5 countries, described 5 new species and redescribed 1 known species and 27 checklists from 11 countries and/geographical regions by 72 authors. A bibliographic analysis of these papers, the number of species reported in the checklists, and a list of new species are presented in this paper. Key words: Acanthocephala, new species, checklist, bibliography The Phylum Acanthocephala is a relatively small group of endoparasitic helminths (helminths = worm-like animals that are parasites; not a monophyletic group). Adults use vertebrates as definitive hosts (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals), eggs are passed in the feces and infect arthropods (insects and crustacean) as intermediate hosts, where the cystacanth develops, and the cystacanth infects the definitive host when it is ingested. In some cases, fishes, reptiles, and amphibians that eat arthropods serve as paratenic (transport) hosts to bridge ecological barriers to adults of a species that typically does not feed on arthropods.

LUTH A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY GRADAUTE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Biology May 2016 Winston-Salem, North Carolina Approved By: Gerald W. Esch, Ph.D., Advisor Michael V. K. Sukhdeo, Ph.D., Chair T. Michael Anderson, Ph.D. Herman E. Eure, Ph.D. Erik C. Johnson, Ph.D. Clifford W. Zeyl, Ph.D. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my PI, Dr. Gerald Esch, for all of the insight, all of the discussions, all of the critiques (not criticisms) of my works, and for the rides to campus when the North Carolina weather decided to drop rain on my stubborn head. The numerous lively debates, exchanges of ideas, voicing of opinions (whether solicited or not), and unerring support, even in the face of my somewhat atypical balance of service work and dissertation work, will not soon be forgotten. I would also like to acknowledge and thank the former Master, and now Doctor, Michael Zimmermann; friend, lab mate, and collecting trip shotgun rider extraordinaire. Although his need of SPF 100 sunscreen often put our collecting trips over budget, I could not have asked for a more enjoyable, easy-going, and hard-working person to spend nearly 2 months and 25,000 miles of fishing filled days and raccoon, gnat, and entrail-filled nights. You are a welcome camping guest any time, especially if you do as good of a job attracting scorpions and ants to yourself (and away from me) as you did on our trips.

Treatment strategies have been the focus of several in vivo studies; however, few studies have been undertaken on in vitro protocols for parasite maintenance. The aim of the present study was to develop the best in vitro culture condition for N. buttnerae to ensure its survival and adaptation out of the host to allow for the testing of substances to be used to control the parasite. To achieve this, parasites were collected from naturally infected fish and distributed in 6-well culture plates under the following treatments in triplicate: 0.9% NaCl, sterile tank water, L-15 Leibovitz culture medium, L-15 Leibovitz + agar 2% culture medium, RPMI 1640 culture medium, and RPMI 1640 + agar 2% culture medium.

  • First Record of Acanthocephala in Marine Copepods
    OPHELIA46 (3): 217-231 (August1997) FIRST RECORD OF ACANTHOCEPHALA IN MARINE COPEPODS Rony Huysl* & Philippe Bodin2 1 Zoology Department, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, England 2Universite de Bretagne Occidentale, URA CNRS D 1513, 6 avenue Le Gorgeu, 29285 Brest Cedex, France *Author for correspondence ABSTRACT Late cystacanth stages were discovered in the haemocoel of the marine benthic harpacticoid Halectinosoma herdmani (T. & A. Scott, 1896) (Copepoda: Ectinosomatidae) collected off La Rochelle, France. This represents the first record of Acanthocephala infesting marine copepods. On the basis of the hook formula on the proboscis and the spine pattern on the trunk, the para­ sites were identified as juveniles of Acanthogyrus (Acanthosentis) lizae Orecchia, Paggi & RadujkoY­ ic, 1988 (Eoacanthocephala: Gyracanthocephala: Quadrigyridae) which utilizes the golden grey mullet Liza aurata (Risso, 1810) as the definitive host. The literature on acanthocephalans utiliz­ ing copepods as intermediate hosts is reviewed and some morphological details of both the cysta­ canth and host copepod are presented using differential interference contrast and scanning elec­ tron microscopy. Halectinosoma porosum Wells, 1967 from Inhaca Island (Mozambique) is formally transferred to Ectinosoma Boeck, 1865 as E. porosum (Wells, 1967) comb. nov. INTRODUCTION The Acanthocephala is a small but important phylum of endoparasitic hel­ minths. They live as adults in the alimentary tract of both poikilothermic and homeothermic vertebrates and require an arthropod as first intermediate host. The latter is either a crustacean in aquatic species or an insect or isopod (or rarely a myriapod; e.g. Crites 1964, Fahnestock 1985) in terrestrial species. Although relatively few life cycles have been elucidated, they seem to take a similar course in all acanthocephalans studied.

ON A NEW SPECIES NEOECHINORHYNCHUS CRIBBI (EOACANTHOCEPHALA: NEOECHINORHYNCHIDAE) IN MARINE FISH LIZA SUBVIRIDIS (VALENCIENNES, 1836) FROM KARACHI COAST, PAKISTAN Mehtab Ibrahim1, Aly Khan2*and Nasira Khatoon1 1 Department of Zoology, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan 2CDRI, Pakistan Agricultural Research Council, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan *Corresponding author’s e-mail: al [email protected] y. ABSTRACT Neoechinorhynchus cribbi sp.n. (Neoechinorhynchidae) is described from the marine fish Liza subviridis (Valenciennes, 1836) from Karachi coast, Pakistan. The new species is distinguished from all other species of the genus Neoechinorhynchus by a combination of characters and the most significant being overlapping of the testes. It is specifically separated from all the other species of the genus Neoechinorhynchus by a combination of characters including body size, proboscis size, lengths of proboscis hooks, length of lemnisci, egg size and size of bursa. This is the tenth species of genus Neoechinorhynchus being reported from Pakistan. Keywords: Neoechinorhynchus cribbi n. sp., fish, small intestine, Karachi coast, Pakistan. INTRODUCTION The genus Neoechinorhynchus erected by Stiles and Hassall, 1905 to accommodate acanthocephalans from freshwater, marine fish and turtles. Yamaguti 1963 listed forty species of the genus from different hosts. Later, during 2002, Amin revised the genus, out of 109 species he considered 88 were validated and assigned in one or two subgenera; Neoechinorhynchus having eggs without polar prolongation and Hebesoma with polar prolongation; ovoid or elliptical eggs. The species of the genus reported from Pakistan are N. karachiensis Bilqees, 1972; N. johnii (Yamaguti, 1939) Bilqees, 1972; N.
