New species and new records of camallanid nematodes (Nematoda, Camallanidae) from marine fishes and sea snakes in New Caledonia Author Moravec, František Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Branišovská 31, 370 05 České Budějovice, Czech Republic Author Justine, Jean-Lou Institut Systématique Évolution Biodiversité (ISYEB), Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, CNRS, Sorbonne Université, EPHE, text Parasite 2019 Paris, France 2019-11-20 26 66 1 25 http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/parasite/2019068 journal article 10.1051/parasite/2019068 1776-1042 PMC6865763 31746732 12524300 3A6166C0-37C7-4EC4-8F5E-30A6947434A8 Procamallanus ( Spirocamallanus ) sp. 3 of Moravec et al., 2006 Host: Two-lined monocle bream Scolopsis bilineata (Bloch) ( Nemipteridae , Perciformes ). Site of infection: Intestine. Locality : Near Ilôt Sainte-Marie , off Nouméa , New Caledonia , 22°18 0 S , 166°27 0 E (collected 4 July 2003 and 5 June 2006 ) . Prevalence, intensity and details about fish : 2 fish infected/12 fish examined; 1 nematode per fish. The infected fish (Fish numbers: JNC 619, JNC 1917) were 139–190 mm in fork length and 51–156 g in weight. Deposition of voucher specimen: Muséum National d’ Histoire Naturelle , Paris, France ( 1 specimen , MNHN JNC619 A) . Remarks Based on a single specimen (subgravid female) from S . bilineata off New Caledonia , Moravec et al. [ 27 ] described Procamallanus ( S .) sp. 3, characterized by 13 spiral ridges in the buccal capsule and a broad tail with a short smooth projection. Two available specimens (also subgravid females) of the present material from the same host species, 14.12 and 18.84 mm long, are morphologically identical with that reported by Moravec et al. [ 27 ] and there is no doubt that both these forms belong to the same species. By the shape of the female tail and the absence of terminal spikes, this species is similar to P . ( S .) dispar n. sp. and a few other congeners (see above). However, since conspecific males remain unknown, the species identification of these nematodes is impossible.
