“…Despite the increasing number of studies regarding the superfamily Cosmocercoidea in the last 10 years (Ross et al ., 2010; Jones et al ., 2011; Sato et al ., 2015; Tran et al ., 2015; Chen et al ., 2018, 2020, 2021a, b; Maity et al ., 2019; Sümer et al ., 2019; Liu et al ., 2020; Sata & Nakano, 2020; Harnoster et al ., 2022), the current knowledge about the molecular phylogeny of the family is still scarce (Chen et al , 2021a). To date, molecular data for only 39 species of Cosmocercoidea, of which 23 species are of the subfamily Cosmocercinae (18S, 28S, ITS, 12S, Cox1 and Cox2), are available in the GenBank database.…”

First molecular assessment on Cosmocerca spp. from Brazilian anurans and description of a new species of Cosmocerca (Ascaridomorpha: Cosmocercoidea) from the white-spotted humming frog Chiasmocleis albopunctata (Boettger, 1885) (Anura: Microhylidae)

Cosmocerca spp. are common nematode parasites of amphibians. We provide herein molecular data for two species of Cosmocerca and describe a new species, Cosmocerca albopunctata n. sp., using light microscopy and molecular data (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 – COI mtDNA). Cosmocerca albopunctata n. sp. can be easily distinguished from other congeneric species by the combination of characteristics such as body size, length of spicules and gubernaculum, and the arrangements and number of caudal papillae (7 + 1:1 + 1:6). The phylogenetic results based on the partial COI mtDNA sequences clustered the new species in a monophyletic clade along with the other sequences of Cosmocerca spp. Therefore, our results contribute to the knowledge about the species diversity and genetic data for Cosmocerca spp. in the Neotropical region.
