“…The same condition is found in almost all Anonchotaenia spp. [including the type-species A. globata (Linstow, 1879)] as described by different authors (see Fuhrmann, 1918;Rausch & Morgan, 1947;Mathevossian, 1969;Kornyushin, 1989;Mariaux, 1991). Thus, A. clelandi cannot be distinguished at the generic level from the genus Anonchotaenia Cohn, 1900 and, on this basis, Zosteropicola should be regarded as its synonym.…”

“…1, 4). Previous reports have suggested that the proglottides of some Anonchotaenia species mature earlier in the strobila than other paruterinid genera (Furhmann 1908, Rausch and Morgan 1947, Saxena and Baugh 1978, but few studies have reported variation in proglottis maturation along the length of the strobila among paruterinids. Future examination across the other 21 paruterinid genera will determine the variability of the location of these landmarks in comparison to Anonchotaenia.…”

“…In this study, we complement the set of historically useful characters for species delimitation with some previously disregarded additional characters. Paruterine organ shape is easily distorted by contraction in short proglottides and has not been considered reliable for species delimitation within Anonchotaenia (Fuhrmann 1908, Joyeux and Baer 1935, Rausch and Morgan 1947, although this character has been informative of species boundaries for other paruterinid genera (Georgiev and Kornyushin 1994).…”

Morphological examination of novel specimens of paruterinid cestodes from passerine birds from Brazil and Chile and of museum specimens from Paraguay revealed two new species: Anonchotaenia prolixa sp. n. from Elaenia albiceps chilensis Hellmayr from Chile, and Anonchotaenia vaslata sp. n. from Tyrannus melancholicus (Vieillot) (type host) and Myiodynastes maculatus (Statius Muller) from Paraguay. The generic diagnosis of Anonchotaenia Conn, 1900 is amended, prompted by the presence of the armed cirrus and the elongated cirrus sac of A. prolixa. Two species were redescribed: Anonchotaenia brasiliensis Fuhrmann, 1908 from Tachyphonus coronatus (Vieillot) and Thraupis cyanoptera (Vieillot) (new host records) from Brazil, and Thraupis sayaca (Linnaeus) and Volatinia jacarina (Linnaeus) from Paraguay (new host and geographic records); and Anonchotaenia macrocephala Fuhrmann, 1908 from Tachycineta leucorrhoa (Vieillot) (new host record) from Brazil, Tachycineta meyeni (Cabanis) from Chile (new host and geographic record) and Stelgidopteryx ruficollis (Vieillot) from Paraguay (new host and geographic record). Scanning electron microscopy of A. brasiliensis and A. macrocephala revealed less microthrix variation than has been reported for other cyclophyllidean taxa. Sequence data were generated for nuclear ssr-and lsr-DNA and mitochondrial rrnL and cox1 for A. prolixa, A. brasiliensis, and A. macrocephala. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses supported each species as distinct, but revealed cryptic diversity among A. brasiliensis specimens from different host families. New host records of A. brasiliensis and A. macrocephala prompted a formal assessment of host specificity. Anonchotaenia prolixa was found to be oioxenous (HS S = 0), A. vaslata and A. macrocephala were found to be metastenoxenous (HS S = 3.000 and 3.302, respectively), whereas A. brasiliensis was found to be euryxenous (HS S = 5.876). Anonchotaenia brasiliensis has been found parasitising several species of different passerine families that participate in mixed-species foraging flocks in the Atlantic Forest. A diversity of species of other families join these flocks and are among the substantial number of South American passerine species yet to be examined for cestodes. South American Anonchotaenia species are poorly known, with only six species in total reported from the continent and all but two of these species described with brief treatments prior to 1909 (Fuhrmann 1901(Fuhrmann , 1908. As part of the present study, fieldwork conducted near the Comau Fjord, Chile in 2008 and near São Paulo, Brazil in 2011 led to the collection of cestode specimens from a diversity of avian orders, but predominantly Passeriformes. Examination of this material combined with the study of museum specimens resulted in the description of two new species of Anonchotaenia as well as the redescription of Anonchotaenia brasiliensis Fuhrmann, 1908 and Anonchotaenia macrocephala Fuhrmann, 1908. Anonchotaenia brasiliensis and A. macrocephala are the first ...

External and gastrointestinal parasites of the rufous-collared sparrow AbstractA total of 277 rufous-collared sparrows, Zonotrichia capensis Müller, 1776 (Emberizidae), were examined for external parasites. The birds were captured using mist nets in seven locations in northern and central Chile. Additionally, seven carcasses from central Chile (the Biobío region) were necropsied to evaluate the presence of endoparasite infection. Ectoparasites were found on 35.8% (99/277) of the examined birds and they were represented by the following arthropods: feather mites Amerodectes zonotrichiae Mironov and González-Acuña, 2014 (Analgoidea: Proctophyllodidae), Proctophyllodes polyxenus Atyeo and Braasch, 1966 (Analgoidea: Proctophyllodidae), and Trouessartia capensis Berla, 1959 (Analgoidea: Trouessartiidae); a louse Philopterus sp. (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera); and ticks Amblyomma tigrinum Koch, 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae) and Ixodes auritulus Neumann, 1904 (Acari: Ixodidae). Two of the seven necropsied carcasses were infected with the acanthocephalan Mediorhynchus papillosus Van Cleave, 1916 (Gigantorhynchida: Gigantorhynchidae). To our knowledge, this study reports P. polyxenus, Philopterus sp., A. tigrinum, and M. papillosus for the first time for Z. capensis and expands the distributional range for T. capensis to Chile.
