Digenean parasites of Chinese marine fishes: a list of species, hosts and geographical distribution

“… YBS Yellow Sea and Bo-hai Sea, ECS East China Sea, SCS South China Sea, TWS Taiwan Strait a Tormopsolus echenei Parukhin, 1966 is probably a synonym of Echeneidocoelium indicum Simha & Pershad, 1964 (see Bray & Cribb, 1998) b The validity of this taxon was doubted by Cribb & Bray (1999), because they draw attention to the superficial resemblance between this species and certain species of the opecoelid genus Pseudopecoeloide s Yamaguti, 1940 c Gibson (2002) considered that Proterometra brachyura Wu, Lü & Zhu, 1997, P. lamellorchis Wu, Lü & Zhu, 1997 and P. sillagae Wu, Lü & Zhu, 1997 are clearly not azygiids and are likely to be lepocreadiids d Miller & Cribb (2008) considered “ Pseudosiphoderoides xishaensis Gu & Shen, 1983 a species incertae sedis until its relationship with species in the Metadera / Siphodera group can be critically assessed” e Choudhury & Dick (1998) considered that Skrjabinopsolus sanyaensis Shen, 1990 does not belong to the Deropristidae f Pseudocoeliodidymocystis Shen, 1990 was considered a genus inquirendum by Pozdnyakov & Gibson (2008) g The full description of this species accompanied by a figure was given by Ku & Shen (1965a), but the species name was given by Shen (1990f) h Pseudofellodistomum Wang, 1987 was considered a genus incertae sedis by Bray (2008) i Elliptobursa was removed from the Monorchiidae and placed in the Haploporidae by Madhavi (2008) based mainly on its possession of “a single testis, a long external seminal vesicle, a well-developed prostatic complex, and a long hermaphroditic duct wrongly interpreted as a cirrus” j Bray (1990) considered that Ectenurus carangis Gu & Shen, 1978 and E. megalaspis Gu & Shen, 1978 may be synonymous k This synonymy follows Gibson & Bray (1986) l Bray (1991) considered that Lecithochirium miichthydis Wang, 1982, L. muraenesocis Wang, 1982 and L. scomberomori Wang, 1982 are probably members of other genera m Léon-Règagnon et al (1996) and Bray & Cribb (2002) considered that Opisthadena fujianensis Tang, Shi & Guan, 1983 and O. marina Tang, Shi & Cao, 1983 are species inquirendae n Bartoli & Gibson (2006) considered that “the description of this species is not detailed enough to confirm its genetic allocation” o This synonymy follows Manter & Pritchard (1960) and Bray et al (1993) p This synonymy follows Gibson (2002) q This synonymy follows Bray & Cribb (1997) r Bray & Gibson (1995) treated Lepidapedon sphyraenae Shen, 1990 as incertae sedis s Bray & Nahhas (1998) considered that Bianium lianyungangense Shen, 1990 may be close to Lepocreadioides Yamaguti, 1936 based on the position of the genital pore, the lobation of the ovary and the host t Bray et al (1997) considered that Intusatrium crassum Wang, 1987 is a species inquirenda u Bray & Cribb (1998) considered that “ L. pagrosomi Wang, 1982 probably does not belong in Lepocreadioides , as it has an entire ovary and the genital pore, although marginal, is more posterior than is usual for the genus. The figure gives no evidence of tegumental spines or an external seminal vesicle, indicating that the species may not belong in the Lepocreadiidae”…”

“…m Léon-Règagnon et al (1996) and Bray & Cribb (2002) considered that Opisthadena fujianensis Tang, Shi & Guan, 1983 and O. marina Tang, Shi & Cao, 1983 are species inquirendae …”

Ultrastructural investigations of vitellogenesis and oogenesis of Proctoeces sp. infesting Platycephalus indicus fishes caught from Alataka Harbor, Suez Gulf, Egypt.

“…Recently some studies have been carried out on spermatogenesis and vitellogenesis in digenean species (Oliva and Huaquin, 2000;Sampour, 2008;Taeleb and Mohamadein, 2013;Greani et al, 2014 andOliva et al, 2018). Among 18,000 digenean species described by Bray et al, (2002), vitellogenesis of only 20 species were studied (Swiderski et al, 2011). Family fellodistomidae embraces relatively large sized species infecting the digestive and reproductive system of bivalves and bony fishes (Oliva and Vásquez, 1999).…”
