description |
Diploechiniscus gen. nov. Diagnosis. Echiniscids with dorsal plates I, II, III, IV (II and III paired), transversally subdivided median plates m 1 and m 2 and undivided plate m 3 present; double sculpture in the dorsal plates, represented (under phase contrast) by dark polygonal and white circular grains; ventral plates present, especially evident in the anterior, head region and around the gonopore; supernumerary dorsal-lateral spines present; buccal tube long and narrow, with stylet supports. Orange body, dark-brown eyes. Type species: Echiniscus oihonnae Richters, 1903 Composition: Diploechiniscus oihonnae (Richters, 1903) comb. nov. , to date the only species attributable to the new genus. Junior synonym: Echiniscus multispinosus Etymology: from the Greek δίπλόος (diplóos) = double, composed of two parts; referring to the cuticle sculpture, and Echiniscus , the first of the echiniscid genera to be described. Remarks. The echiniscid genera most similar to Diploechiniscus are Testechiniscus , Echiniscus and Bryodelphax . Diploechiniscus is differentiated from Testechiniscus by the presence of double sculpture in the dorsal plates, subdivided dorsal plate m 2 and dorsal plate m 3. It is differentiated from Echiniscus by the presence of black eyes, subdivided dorsal plates m 1 and m 2, double sculpture in the dorsal plates, supernumerary dorsallateral spines, ventral plates and evident stylet supports. From Bryodelphax , Diploechiniscus is differentiated by the presence of black eyes, supernumerary dorsal-lateral spines, dorsal and lateral filaments or spines (apart from filament A), terminal plate notched, and the adults are much larger. The juxtaposition of the four genera into different evolutionary lines within the Echiniscidae was confirmed by 18 S sequences. Diploechiniscus oihonnae (Richters, 1903) comb. nov. Type locality: Merok, Norway Diagnosis. Body colour reddish-brown. Dark brown eye spots. Stylet supports present. Long filaments A, B, C, D and E. Short hooked dorsal-lateral spines B’, C’, D’ and E’. Long filaments C d and short spines D d. Spine B d present or absent. Dorsal plates present: I, paired II and III, and IV, transversally subdivided median plates m 1 and m 2 and median plate m 3 entire. Terminal plate (IV) notched. Double sculpture of the dorsal plates observed under light microscopy. Faint ventral plates present, with those at the anterior and posterior more clearly visible. Sensory spine on leg I and papilla on leg IV, present. Lateral leg plates, present. Dentate collar on leg IV, present. Females and males present, with gonopores typical of the echiniscid form. Re-description of the species (from the original description and from re-examined specimens collected in Forså, Norway; Sierra de Urbion, Spain; Caldas das Taipas, Vilar Formoso, Castro Laboreiro and Moita do Conqueiro, Portugal). Body colour orange. Eye spots simple and dark brown. Buccal cirri long, clavae large. Stylet supports present (sometimes difficult to observe in older slides). Dorsal plates present, all (except neck plate) characterized by double sculpture, which appears as dark, regular polygonal grains under white circular grains when viewed with phase contrast. Dark grains are separated by thin, white region from neighbours (normally groups of six); white grains of various sizes, never overlaping dark grains, and irregularly distributed. Cephalic plate unpaired, with median depression to the anterior margin; fine anterior sculpture and larger posterior double sculpture. Neck plate, a long transverse and relatively thin band, anterior and posterior region unsculptured and fine, dark grains in the middle. Dorsal segmental plates: plate I (or scapular plate) entire, with two sculptured small lateral plates exhibiting fine, dark grains; plates II and III paired and characterised by an unsculptured transverse band, and plate IV (or terminal plate), entire but faceted and notched (not obvious in older specimens). Median intersegmental plates: plate m 1, transversally subdivided, anterior region formed of a large, flat and thin rectangle not always obvious due to overlapping scapular plate; plate m 2, transversally subdivided and with an unsculptured transverse band, plate appears as two obtuse angle isosceles triangles joined by their larger side; and m 3, entire, small and not obvious but with double sculpture. Lateral intersegmental plates are difficult to identify, though unsculptured spaces exist at la 2 and la 3. Long filaments A, B, C, D and E, sometimes barbed. Short hooked dorsal-lateral spines B’, C’, D’ and E’. Lateral spine E’, simple or double. B d variable as long spine, very short spur, or absent and can be present on one or both sides of plate II. Long filaments C d and short spines D d. Ventral sculpture present as fine granulation, with clearly visible head plate and posterior plates beside gonopore. Leg plates present laterally, with dark granular sculpture. Spiniform papilla present on leg I; papilla on leg IV with rounded tip. Hooked spurs on all internal claws, external claws I–III smooth, occasionally one or two short right-angled spurs on the leg IV. Dentate collar variable, comprised of six to 13 triangular teeth, some irregularly bifurcated. Gonopore; a short tube in the males, and rosette in the females. The geographical distribution of E. oihonnae includes: Portugal, Switzerland, Northern Europe (including polar islands), U.S.A., Canada, Australia (Ramazzotti & Maucci 1983); Japan (Mathews, 1937); Kuril Islands, Far East Russia (Dudichev & Biserov 2000). Most of the non-European citations require confirmation, as for example, Murray (1910) was doubtful about his identification of Australian and Canadian specimens, and the Californian specimens, initially assigned to E. oihonnae , were revised as T. laterculus (Schuster, Grigarick & Toftner, 1980).
