“…Recently H. truncatus was discovered on imported Chinese Neocaridina spp. (Niwa et al, 2005;Niwa and Ohtaka, 2006;Ohtaka et al, 2012) in central Honshu Island, Japan. As these shrimps are used for bait in freshwater sport fishing across Japan, escapes into local waters along with their branchiobdellidans has already started.…”

-Two species of North American branchiobdellidans, Cambarincola gracilis Robinson, 1954 and Cambarincola okadai Yamaguchi, 1933, have been reported in Europe for the first time. These branchiobdellidans together with Xirogoniton victoriensis Gelder and Hall, 1990 were found on signal crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana, 1852), collected from the Lot and Tarn River drainages in southern France. Specimens of X. victoriensis were also reported on the same host in the Mayenne River drainage in northeastern France. Brief morphological descriptions of the three alien branchiobdellidan species are given. These introductions are briefly discussed and compared with similar alien ectosymbiotic associations found in Japan.

“…Branchiobdellidans are known to find some non-crayfish crustaceans as acceptable hosts, mainly south of the crayfish s southern distribution limit in Central America (Holt 1973;Gelder et al 2002), southern China (Liang 1963;Ohtaka et al 2012), and central and southern Japan (Fujita et al 2010;Tanaka et al 2016). Branchiobdellidans have shown a surprising degree of flexibility, with species adopting either an alien crayfish host from a different continent (Ďuriš et al 2006;Vogt 1999) or a non-crayfish crustacean host altogether (Gelder & Messick 2006).…”

Long-anticipated new records of an ectosymbiotic branchiobdellidan and an ostracod on the North American red swamp crayfish, <i>Procambarus clarkii</i> (Girard, 1852) from an urban stream in Tokyo, Japan

Two North American ectosymbionts, a cambarincolid branchiobdellidan, Cambarincola mesochoreus, and an entocytherid ostracod, Ankylocythere sinuosa, were recorded for the first time in Japan, on the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, from an urban stream in Tokyo. Although the immediate origin of the hosts and ectosymbionts is unknown, it is highly probable that they were recently imported into Japan. A single C. mesochoreus was also found on an alien atyid shrimp, Neocaridina davidi, in the same stream as the infected Pr. clarkii. This demonstrates the possibility that C. mesochoreus may find this shrimp to be a new potential host.

“…These parameters are required to measure the effect of this symbiotic association -both introduced species, C. quadricarinatus and D. boschmai -to detect the extent of the spread of D. boschmai to other crustacean taxa, especially endemic crabs in their natural ecosystems (Jones and Lester 1993, Chivavaya 2013, du Preez and Smit 2013. Furthermore, the introduced populations of D. boschmai in natural hydrological systems in Uruguay represent a serious problem of displacement to the endemic populations of Neotropical Temnocephala species because of interspecific competition between symbiotic organisms (Gelder 1999, Sicard et al 2006, Witte et al 2008, Tsuchida et al 2011, Ohtaka et al 2012. In this context, the data generated in this checklist can be used to support conservation strategies for freshwater biodiversity (Cardoso et al 2011a, b, Stendera et al 2012, Collen et al 2013).…”

Based on published records and original data derived from our research, we have generated a checklist of symbiotic temnocephalan fauna from 57 taxa of freshwater invertebrate and vertebrate hosts from 16 families included in four classes from the Neotropics. The checklist contains 38 nominal species from 3 genera belonging to the Temnocephalida families Diceratocephalidae, Didymorchidae and Temnocephalidae. All taxa (35) of the genus Temnocephala are endemic to the Neotropics and 14 (40%) are considered microendemic (i.e. only one record each from a single locality). While only one species and one variety of Didymorchis are known from the Neotropics; there are also two putative undescribed species of this genus. Only Diceratocephala boschmai (Diceratocephalidae) is reported as an introduced species from Uruguay. Host specificity to a particular group of invertebrates and vertebrates is the first evidence for the ecological and evolutionary associations that will be analyzed in future studies.
