“…Leiper and Atkinson (1915) and Edmonds (1957) suppressed both C. antarcticum and C. sipho as synonyms of C. hamanni. However, Meyer (1933), Petrochenko (1958), Deliamure (1955), Golvan (1959), and Nikol'skii (1974) considered C. sipho to be valid while reducing C. antarcticum as a synonym of C. hamanni.…”

“…Corynosoma hamanni is a typical parasite of Weddell seals, Leptonychotes weddelli Lesson, Ross seals, Ommatophoca rossi Gray, leopard seals, Hydrurga leptonyx de Blainville, and crabeater seals, Lobodon carcinophaga Hombron and Jacquinot in the Antarctic (Leiper and Atkinson, 1915 ;Edmonds, 1957 ;Holloway and Bier, 1967 ;Golvan, 1959 ;and others). Several other species, morphologically similar to C. hamanni, have been described from marine mammals in the Antarctic and Subantarctic.…”

“…Holloway and Bier (1967) reported the development of ovarian balls in a female of C. hamanni from an adelie penguin at McMurdo Sound and only one female was found in a comparable state of development during the present study. In both the Arctic and the Antarctic, the marine acanthocephalan faunas of homeothermic vertebrates are dominated by species which only develop successfully in marine mammals while those typical of avian definitive hosts are rare (Van Cleave, 1953 ;Petrochenko, 1958 ;Golvan, 1959 ;Rausch, 1983 ;Hoberg, 1984b).…”

“…Acanthocephalans of the genus Corynosoma are typical parasites of pinnipeds inhabiting the subantarctic and antarctic seas (Deliamure, 1955 ;Golvan, 1959 ;Holloway and Bier, 1967 ; and others) but occur only incidentally (with the exception of C. shackletoni and C. clavatum Goss, 1941) in avian final hosts (Goss, 1941 ;Johnston and Edmonds, 1953 ;Edmonds 1955 ;Jones and Williams, 1969 ;Williams et al, 1974 ;Zdzitowiecki, 1978aZdzitowiecki, , 1978b. Generally, specimens of C. hamanni, C. singularis, and C. bullosum were not sexually mature or gravid when they occurred in seabirds and development usually did not proceed beyond that observed in cysti canths from fish.…”

“…Acanthocephalans of the genus Corynosoma Lühe, 1904 constitute a major component of the helminth fauna of marine mammals in the Antarctic and Subantartic (von Linstow, 1892 ;Rennie, 1907 ;Railliet and Henry, 1907;Leiper and Atkinson, 1915;Baylis, 1929;Edmonds, 1955Edmonds, , 1957Golvan, 1959 ;Holloway and Bier, 1967 ;and others). However, there are relatively few records of this genus from seabirds in these geographic regions (Johnston and Edmonds, 1953 ;Edmonds, 1955 ;Holloway and Bier, 1967 ;Jones and Williams, 1969 ;Williams et al, 1974 ;Zdzitowiecki, 1978aZdzitowiecki, , 1978b.…”

SUMMARY. Four species of acanthocephalans are reported from seabirds, nototheniid fishes and gammaridean amphipods in the western Antarctic. Corynosoma hamanni (von Linstow, 1892) was found in Phalacrocorax atriceps King, Chionis alba (Gmelin), Larus dominicanus Lichtenstein, and Catharacta lonnbergi (Mathews). The complete life cycle of this acanthocephalan was elucidated : cysticanths develop in the haemocoel of a gammaridean amphipod, Pontogeneiella sp. of the family Eusiridae and presumably, following ingestion of parasitized amphipods, encyst in the body cavity of antarctic fishes of several species. Corynosoma singularis Skriabin and Nikol'skii, 1971 was found only in P. atriceps. Corynosoma bullosum (von Linstow, 1892) occurred in both P. atri ceps and Pygoscelis papua (Forster). Neither of these species of Corynosoma had previously been reported from avian hosts. Corynosoma shackletoni Zdzitowiecki, 1978 was recorded only as a parasite of P. papua. The first known gravid females of this species were found during this study, indicating that C. shackletoni is a typical parasite of avian, rather than mammalian, final hosts. It is the first acanthocephalan known to typically occur in an avian definitive host in Antarctica. The host-distribution of Corynosoma spp. in birds suggested that these parasites were being acquired from piscine or possibly amphipod prey, generally in nearshore situations. Seabirds representing the zooplanktivore feeding guild were not infected. This indicates that pelagic foodwebs, and other trophic pathways in which Euphausia superba Dana is a dominant prey organism, are probably not involved in the life cycles of Corynosoma spp. The host and geographic distribu tions of Corynosoma in piscine, avian, and mammalian hosts suggested that oceanographic factors, particularly the Antartic Convergence, could limit the ranges for some species of parasites. Hostparasite coevolution appears to have had an important influence on the species composition of the acanthocephalan fauna of seabirds and marine mammals in Antarctica.
