Cherusius triunguiculatus
(Borradaile, 1902)
Material examined.
1 ovigerous female (5.7 x
4.1 mm
) (DABFUK), Minicoy,
16 September 2014
.
Remarks.
Cherusius
was better known as
Jonesius
Sankarankutty, 1962
, but
Low & Ng (2012)
showed that the name was preoccupied by the cestode
Jonesius
Yamaguti, 1959
. As such, they proposed a replacement name,
Cherusius
.
Cherusius triunguiculatus
has been previously reported from
Lakshadweep
by
Rao
et al.
(1989)
and
Venkataraman
et al.
(2004)
