Description of Nematobibothrioides histoidii (Noble, 1974) (Trematoda: Didymozoidae) and comparison with other genera
Abstract:
Nematobibothrioides histoidii, inhabiting the body wall tissues of the sunfish, Mola mola, is characterized by its great length, reaching over 12 m, diverticulated excretory horns, large excretory tube, presence of 2 suckers, rudimentary pharynx, absence of gland cells around pharynx and ceca, oblong vitelline reservoir, and oval eggs, 17 by 15 mu. A description is given of the single species. Of 19 genera in the subfamily Nematobothriinae, 6 that possess the greatest similarity with Nematobibothrioides are compared. A brief discussion of didymozoid affinities is given.
