Notes 011 the Probable Partial Life-History of Galactosomum Spinetum (Brawn, 1901) (Trematoda) from the West Coast of Florida* JANUARY, 1960] HELMINTHOLOGICAL SOCIETY 75 Notes 011 the Probable Partial Life-History of Galactosomum spinetum (Brawn, 1901) (Trematoda) from the West Coast of Florida* FRANKLIN SOGANDARES-BERNALI and ROBERT F. HUTTONI A single half-beak, Ilyporliampus imifasciatus (Ransani), (Pisces), from John's Pass, Florida, was found infected with a large heterophyid metncer- caria encysted in the visceral adipose tissue. Fifty of these metacereariae were fed to a laboratory raised hamster, and another live dissected from their cysts, observed microscopically and fixed in boiling water. Careful examina- tion of the exposed hamster after 96 hours revealed that no worms were present. The metacereariae from the half-beak were identified as a species of Galactosomum Looss, 1899. Outstanding features of the metacereariae were: (1) excretory vesicle extending to the posterior testis; (2) an immediately pre-equatorial gonotyl position; (3) a very short prepharynx and esophagus, placing cecal bifurcation a long distance from the gonotyl; and (4) the uterus extending anterior to the gonotyl. This latter character was observed in a single live specimen and although difficult to observe seems to be present in our stained material. Our material from the half-beak was compared with different species of Galactosomum, in different stages of development, collected from varied sea- birds along the west coast of Florida. The proportions and other details of the metacereariae from the half-beak agreed so closely with specimens of Galactosomum spinet-urn (Braun, 1901) collected from skimmers, Rynchops nicj-ra Linn., (Aves), (Figs: 1 to 4: projected scales in mm.), in Gasparilla Sound, Florida, that they are at this time considered the same species. Prudhoe (1949) has indicated that the pregonotylar uterine extent is diag- nostic for G. spinetum (Braun, 1901). There is a possibility that the meta- cereariae from the half-beak could represent an undescribed species of Galactosomum. We have found specimens of surface fishes, Fundulus similis (Baird and Girard) and clupeid fish remains, in skimmers from Little Gasparilla Pass, Gasparilla Sound, Florida. The presence of G. spinetum metacereariae in the half-beak, a predominantly surface fish would form a natural source of infection for the skimmer. Cable (1956) believed larval forms of Galactosomum to be certain magna- cercous cercariae. We have collected tAvo of 2731 Ceritliiinn muscarum Say from Boca Ciega Bay, Florida, infected with a non-aggregating* magnacercous cercaria. A large number of Fundulus similis from St. Petersburg, Florida, have been examined for encysted trematodes, and only Parascocotyle diminuta (Stunkard and Haviland, 1924) has been found encysted in the gills. For this study, five Fundulus similis were collected from the same locality. Four of these fishes were examined for encysted trematodes and only P. diminuta was found in the gills. The remaining Fundulus similis was exposed to the non- aggregating cercaria from Ccritliium muscarum collected in Boca Ciega Bay, * Florida State Board of Conservation Marine, Laboratory Contribution Number 31. •fTulane University, Department of Zoology, New Orleans, Louisiana. ^Florida State Board of Conservation Marine Laboratory, Maritime Base, Bayboro Harbor, St. Petersburg, Florida.

Examination of this fish host after about 12 clays exposure to the magnacercous cercaria revealed the presence of ten metacercariae excysted in the musculature adjacent to the interhaemal spines of the anal fin. One of these live worms was dissected from the cyst and examined microscopically and the others fed to a chick (roughly three days1 old). The metacercaria from Funduhls similis and Hyporhampus unifasciatus could not be confused. The one from Fundulus may represent another species of G-alactosomum which is commonly found in gulls of this area. Examination of the exposed chick after three days revealed that no worms were present in the digestive tract.

J. Helm., 23: 135-156. The Genus Perodira Baylis, 1943 (Nematoda: Drilonematidae), with a Description of a New Species RlCIIAKD W. TlMM Notre Dame College, Dacca, East Pakistan Baylis (1943) described a new genus of drilonematid nematode parasites from the body cavity of the South Indian earthworms, Hoplocliaetdla anomola and Drawida sp. The type and only species, Perodira alata, had such typical drilonematid features as caudal pits or suckers ("pocket-like" phasmids of Chitwood & Chitwood, 1950), a single ovary, and a long narrow esophagus. Yet it differed markedly from other drilonematid genera in the possession of a U-shaped stoma, and especially in the presence of large pouch-like amphids. Amphids of this shape are characteristically found in many marine nematodes of the Class1 Aphasmidea, Superfamily Enoploidea. Among the Phasmidea these amphids are most similar to the transversely-elliptical am- phids of some diplogasterids. In dissecting the earthworm Pheretima postlmma (L. Vaillant), obtained from Subida, Kamalapur, and Golla, all in Dacca District, we found large numbers' of a nematode which strongly resembled Perodira alata in even the finest details. The general body form, the strong coiling in the male, and the shape of male and female tails were the same. In both, the amphids were large and pouch-like; the excretory pore was located behind the esophageal base; the ovary extended well into the tail and was not reflexed; the phasmids were "pocket-like" and asymmetrically placed on the two sides of the tail; there was a prominent ejaculatory duct in the male but no copulatory ap- paratus; and alae Avere found on the male tail. However, Baylis could not locate an anus, whereas in our specimens the anus in the female Avas quite prominent. The head Avas not set off by a constriction in P. alata and there was a small U-shaped stoma, unlike our species Avhieh had no stoma. The esophagus had a narroAV isthmus in P. alata, but in our species it Avas clavate. Baylis likeAvise did not report subventral excretory cells, Avhieh in our species were large and definite. MoreoA'er, Baylis' specimens Avere stated to haAre been free in the body cavity, Avhereas ours Avere located in the testis sacs and seminal vesicles, especially in the latter. Only one other genus, Dicelis, has been found in a similar habitat. D. filaria Dujardin, 1845, Avas reported from the testis sac of Liimbricus (Wiilker, 1926), Avhile D. nira ChitAvood & Lucker, 1934, Avas reported from the gonads of Helodrilus (probably the seminal vesicles, since the testes degenerate in mature eartliAvorms, the OAraries are quite small, and testis sacs are not present in Helodriltis).

  • The Trematode Parasites of Marine Mammals
    THE TREMATODE PARASITES OF MARINE MAMMALS By Emmett W. Pkice Parasitologist, Zoological Division, Bureau of Animal Industry United States Department of Agriculture The internal parasites of marine mammals have not been exten- sively studied, although a fairly large number of species have been described. In attempting to identify the trematodes from mammals of the orders Cetacea, Pinnipedia, and Sirenia, as represented by specimens in the United States National Museum helminthological collection, it was necessary to review the greater part of the litera- ture dealing with this group of parasitic worms. In view of the fact that there is not in existence a single comprehensive paper on the trematodes of these mammals, and that many of the descrip- tions of species have appeared in publications having more or less limited circulation, the writer has undertaken to assemble descriptions of all trematodes reported from these hosts, with the hope that such a paper may serve a useful purpose in aiding other workers in de- termining specimens at their disposal. In addition to compiling the descriptions of species not available to the writer, two new species, one of which represents a new genus, have been described. Specimens representing 10 of the previously described species have been studied and emendations or additions have been made to the existing descriptions; in a few instances the species have been completely reclescribed. Three species, Distoinwni pallassil Poirier, D. vaUdwim von Lin- stow, and D. am/pidlacewni Buttel-Reepen, have been omitted from this paper despite the fact that they have been reported from ceta- ceans. These species belong in the family Hemiuridae, and since all species of this family are parasites of fishes, the writer feels that their reported occurrence in mammals may be regarded as either errors of some sort or cases of accidental parasitism in which fishes have been eaten by mammals and the fish parasites found in the mammal post-mortem.

    44 PROCEEDINGS OF THE HELMINTHOLOGICAL SOCIETY Notes on the Biology of Plagiorchis noblei Park, 1936 (Trematoda: Plagiorchiidae) HARVEY D. BLANKESPOOR1 Department of Zoology, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50010 and Iowa Lakeside Laboratory, Milford, Iowa 51351 ABSTRACT: Several aspeets of the parasite-host relationships of larval and adult Plagiorchis noblei were investigated. In the laboratory, eggs and metacercariae were infective for a longer time than had previously been reported. Cercariae of P. noblei from naturally infected lymnaeid snails showed marked nocturnal periodicity. Examination of more than 4,000 naturally occurring adult Lymnaca stagnaUs and Stagnicola reflexa revealed that the highest prevalence of infection with this plagi- orchiid trematode occurred from August to early October. Prevalence of adult worms in red-winged and yellow-headed blackbirds collected in the same area peaked in late June to early August. Digenetic trematodes of the genus Plagior- nated eggs incubated at room temperature in chis Liihe, .1899, are intestinal parasites found filtered lake water.

They have put in a considerable amount of time helping me grow and learn as a scientist, and have consistently challenged me to be better during my Ph.D. studies. I cannot find words to thank them enough, so for now, “thank you” will need to suffice. I especially thank Mark and Scott; coadvising was an adventure and one I embarked on gladly. Thank you for all the input and effort, even when it made all three of us cranky. I need to thank the undergraduates and field assistants that have worked for and with me to collect data, process samples, plan field seasons and generally make my life easier. Thanks to Jared and Caitlin for their tireless work (seriously, hours upon hours of their time) running flow cytometry to answer questions about polyploidy. Thank you to Meredith and Jordan for collecting snails, through sand flies, rain, hangovers, and occasionally hypothermia.
