Two New Species of Free-Living Marine Nematodes of the Desmodoridae from Mangrove Wetlands of Xiamen Bay,China

Mangroves are unique in their biodiversity,but studies on their meiobenthic biodiversity in China are scarce.Despite the importance of mangroves,little work has been done on the classification of nematodes in mangrove wetlands.Fujian Province is the most northern point of China’s natural mangrove distribution,and it is also one of the provinces with the earliest constructed mangrove forest.In this paper,two new free-living marine nematode species of Desmodoridae from the Xiamen mangrove wetlands in China are described.Metachromadora xiamenensis sp.nov.is characterized by a cylindrical body,and smooth head capsule set off from the rest of the body.The cuticle is finely annulated and thickened at the midbody.Lateral ridges run from the posterior end of the pharynx to the middle of the tail.The amphid foveae is loop shaped and opens at the top with a double contour amphidial,pharynx with bipartite cuticularized internal cavity.There are 18 tubular precloacal supplements and tail with three small protuberances.Molgolaimus euryformis sp.nov.is characterized by a relatively short and plump body with finely annulated cuticle,which is particularly obvious in the tail.The head is small and wide with intensive striates.The inner and outer labial sensilla are indistinct with short spicules and ventral apophysis,a gubernaculum with a block-shaped hook,a swollen conical-cylindrical tail and an absence of precloacal supplements.

细尾属吸虫—新种

从大头狗母鱼Trachinocephalusmyops的消化道内检获细尾属1新种：厦门细尾吸虫，新种Eriepturusxiamenensissp.nov.。新种与狗母色细尾吸虫E.trachinocephaliYamaguti，1970和带鱼细尾吸虫E．trichiuriGuetShen，1978相似，但它们可以从虫体大小和虫卵大小以及其他形态特征相区别。     

缢蛏独睾科吸虫囊蚴病病原生物学及病理学

本文首次报道了缢蛏新的一种寄生虫病-厦门独睾科吸虫囊蚴病。组织学观察发现,该囊蚴不仅可对成熟缢蛏许多组织造成损害,对幼蛏期缢蛏也可造成的一定的病理危害。通过对该独睾科吸虫部分生活史的实验研究,发现该吸虫终末宿主为钟馗 虎鱼．缢蛏为其第二中间宿主。
