Descriptions of Two New Species of Acephaline Gregarines (Protozoa: Apicomplexa: Eugregarinida), Apolocystis chotonagpurensis sp. n. and Stomatophora janovyi sp. n. from Earthworms (Annelida: Oligochaeta) of India
並列摘要
During surveys of the endoparasitic acephaline gregarines in the Chotonagpur district of Bihar, seminal vesicles of earthworm Amynthas roubsta were found to be infested with a new species of the genus Apolocystis Cognetti de Martiis, 1923, A. chotonagpurensis sp. n. Trophozoites of the new species are rounded or ovoidal in shape and measure 42-83 μm in diameter. Nucleus of the trophozoite is ovoid and measures 12-17×8-16 μm. Gametocysts are ovoidal, enclose two unequal gamonts and measure 71-96×46-83 μm. Oocysts are biconical measuring 6.5-7×3.5-4 μm. A different species of earthworm Amynthas hawayanus collected from the hill region of Darjeeling district of West Bengal revealed the existence of a new species of the genus Stomatophora Drzhevetskii, 1907. Stomatophora janovyi sp. n. is petaloid shaped and measure 80-85 μm in diameter. Gametocysts are ovoid and measure 52-66×33-39 μm and oocysts are navicular shaped with sharply pointed ends and measure 10-12×6-7 μm.
