چکیده

Five species of Caudinidae occur in New Zealandwaters. Two new species are described: Paracaudina alta sp. nov.; Paracaudina reductia sp. nov. Two species reported previously are discussed: Paracaudina chilensis (Müller) and Paracaudina coriacea (Hutton). A lectotype has been established for P. coriacea (Hutton). Hedingia albicans var. glabra (Théel) is raised out of synonymy with Hedingia albicans (Théel), and the variety elevated to species status as Hedingia glabra (Théel). A key is provided for the New Zealand species of Caudinidae.

Phylogeny of Sea Cucumber (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) as Inferred from 16S Mitochondrial rrna Gene Sequences (Filogeni Timun Laut (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) Berdasarkan Jujukan Gen 16S Mitokondria rrna)

This study aimed to determine phylogenetic relationship between and among selected species of sea cucumbers (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) using 16S mitochondrial ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene. Phylogenetic analyses of 37 partial sequences of 16S mitochondrial rRNA gene using three main methods namely neighbour joining (NJ), maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML) showed the presence of ...

New host for the parasitic worm Anoplodium sp . ( Rhabditophora : Platyhelminthes ) found in the sea cucumber Isostichopus fuscus ( Holothuroidea : Echinodermata )

A flatworm was discovered inside the coelomic cavity of the commercial sea cucumber Isostichopus fuscus along the Pacific coast of Mexico. Based on morphological and genetic evidence, it was determined to be Anoplodium sp. belonging to class Rhabditophora. Thus, the sea cucumber I. fuscus constitutes a new host. The flatworms were consistently found on the surface of the haemal vessels and the ...
