Stomatophora cloptoni sp. n. (Apicomplexa: Eugregarinida) from the Seminal Vesicles of an Indian Earthworm
並列摘要
In a survey of the endoparasitic acephaline gregarines in the district South 24 Parganas of West Bengal, India seminal vesicles of earthworm Eutyphoeus orientalis (Beddard) were found to be infested with a new species of the genus Stomatophora Drzhevetskii, 1907. Stomatophora cloptoni sp. n. is spheroidal and measures 95.0-135.0 (110.0±9.0) μm in diameter. A conical sucker 40.0-62.0 (55.0±1.5) μm is present marked by eight furrows dividing the lateral margin of the sucker into 8 lobes. Nucleus spherical, 18.0-24.0 μm (20.0±2.0) μm in diameter and placed very close to the sucker. Gametocysts are ovoid and measure 59.0-86.0×58.0-68.0 μm and oocysts biconical with almost bluntly pointed ends and measure 13.0-19.0×10.0-12.0 μm.
