Description
Summary:Haliotrematoides noncalcaris (Bychowsky & Nagibina, 1971) n. comb. (Figs. 30–35) Syns Haliotrema noncalcaris Bychowsky & Nagibina, 1971; Haliotrema tachypliformis Wang, Liu & Zhou, 2003. Source of current specimens: South China Sea near Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, China, 16 July 2004. Type host and locality: Mangrove red snapper, Lutjanus argentimaculatus (Forsskål) (Lutjanidae): off Hainan Island, South China Sea Site of infection: Gills. Specimens studied: 4 paratypes, ZIAC 2809, 2811, 2812, 2813; 4 voucher specimens, USNPC 101335. Previous records: Lutjanus argentimaculatus (as Haliotrema noncalcaris): off Hainan Island, South China Sea (Bychowsky & Nagibina 1971); Penang, Malaysia (Leong & Colorni 2002). Lethrinus nebulosus (as Haliotrema tachypliformis): Shenzhen (22 o 27' to 22 o 52'N, 113 o 46' to 114 o 37'E), Guangdong Province, China (Wang et al. 2003). Sciaenops ocellatus (as Haliotrema tachypliformis): Shenzhen (22 o 27' to 22 o 52'N, 113 o 46' to 114 o 37'E), Guangdong Province, China (Wang et al. 2003). The hosts for the latter two records are erroneous (see Remarks for H. brachyflagellocirrus). Redescription: Lateral margins of body usually parallel; greatest width usually at level of MCO. Cephalic lobes moderately developed. Posterior eyes with lenses; one member of anterior pair infrequently absent. Pharynx subspherical to ovate. Testis ovate; seminal vesicle an inconspicuous elongate dilation of vas deferens; MCO comprising proximal broad base, tapered tubular shaft with distal counterclockwise coil having less than one complete ring; prostatic reservoir pyriform, lying to right of MCO, with distal end tapered and bent anteriorly before entering base of MCO. Germarium irregular in shape; vaginal pore simple within slight tegumental indentation; vaginal vestibule absent; vaginal canal broad, extending straight to relatively large seminal receptacle anterior to germarium. Ventral anchor with well-developed roots, elongate slightly curved shaft with reduction in diameter ...
