	abstract = {Two species of acanthocephalans are reported from fishes collected during the summer of 1996 in the southeast arm of Lake Malawi (Lake Nyasa), East Africa. The common Acanthogyrus (Acanthosentis) tilapiae (Baylis, 1948) had infected 18 cichlid and 1 bagrid host species (all new host records) netted by divers wearing scuba gear around Harbor Island or caught by hook and line in deep water. The specimens of this parasite were some of the smallest ever reported for that species. Two males of a new species, Acanthogyrus (Acanthosentis) malawiensis, are described from 2 male Labeo cylindricus (Cyprinidae). This is the fifth species of this genus and subgenus described in Africa. It is distinguished from the other 4 African and 33 mostly Asian species in that the proboscis hooks of the middle circle are longer than those of the anterior circle. The new species further differs from the other African species in proboscis and hook size, posterior hook root, trunk spination, and lemniscal form. Observations on host and geographical distribution, prevalence, and developmental stages of A. (A.) tilapiae are also reported.},

	abstract = {The original description of Mediorhynchus papillosus Van Cleave, 1916 included misinterpretations of such taxonomically important structures as proboscis armature. The species was briefly redescribed from Asian material by Schmidt and Kuntz (1977) as well as by various Russian and other workers before and after 1977. The present collection from Colorado provided important taxonomic information previously unreported or erroneously interpreted. The first description of M. papillosus from North American specimens collected from a sage thrasher, Oreoscoptes montanus Baird, 1858, in Colorado, U.S.A., is presented with new features reported for the first time. A comprehensive comparison of the North American, Asian, and Russian populations is presented and discussed. Mediorhynchus papillosus appears to be a geographically variable species, particularly in size of proboscis and its armature, and relative space occupied by the neck and posterior proboscis. The geographically isolated Taiwanese population was markedly different from the Colorado population; the latter was more similar to others from various Soviet republics, particularly the Ukraine. Distinctiveness of geographical populations appears to be related to geographical restrictions, intermediate and definitive host specificity and distribution, and host feeding behavior.},

One unidentified juvenile female now assigned the same species (this paper) was previously reported from the body cavity of the murrel fish, Ophicephalus striatus, also in Thailand. For a parasite that probably matures in snakes, the above represents an unusual assortment of paratenic host taxa that sheds some light on the possible biology of these unusual acanthocephalans. The new species is distinguished from the 3 other known species of the genus by having the largest number of proboscis hooks per row (9:3 anterior rooted hooks and 6 spines) with the third (posteriormost) hook being the largest, among other features.},

This material provided the source of the first comprehensive description of the species, whose identity has been in dispute for over 100 yr. Many specimens collected from whales in 18 locations in the Mediterranean and off Faeroe Islands, North and South America, Caribbean, Africa, Great Britain, Japan, and Australia were examined and determined to belong to B. capitatum. Specimens of Bolbosoma physeteris Gubanov, 1952 collected from the same type host and locality listed in the original description were also determined to be B. capitatum, making B. physeteris a junior synonym. The most important determining characters are proboscis armature and variations in the spination of the area between the anterior and posterior cephalic bulbs.},

It is similar to the former genus in proboscis and trunk shape and size and to the latter in testes shape. Its lacunar system is intermediate between those of the 2 other genera combining the transverse pattern characteristic of Centrorhynchus and the dendritic pattern of Sphaerirostris. The lacunar system pattern is one of the most important taxonomic characters in the classification of acanthocephalans. Neolacunisoma also has unique anteriorly prominent longitudinal riblike trunk muscles.},

	abstract = {Five species of acanthocephalans were collected from 14 species of Arabian Gulf fishes off the coast of Kuwait between 1993 and 1995. They are the following. (1) Neoechinorhynchus dimorphospinus sp. n. (Neoechinorhynchidae) from Allanetta forskali (Ruppell, 1828), Dorosoma nasus (Bloch, 1795), and Liza macrolepis (Smith, 1849). It is distinguished from the only other species of Neoechinorhynchus Stiles and Hassall, 1905, from fish with unequal proboscis hooks in the anterior circle, Neoechinorhynchus doryphorus Van Cleave and Bangham, 1949, by having smaller terminal proboscis hooks and eggs. (2) Tegorhynchus holospinus sp. n. (Illiosentidae) from Leiognathus fasciatus (Lac{\'e}p{\`e}de, 1798), Leiognathus bindus (Cuvier and Valenciennes, 1835), and Pseudorhombus arsius (Hamilton-Buchanan, 1827). It is the only species of the genus with cuticular spines covering almost the whole trunk. (3) Micracanthorhynchina kuwaitensis sp. n. (Rhadinorhynchidae) from Hemiramphus marginatus Forskal, 1775. It has the largest number of proboscis hooks per row (13-15) compared to all other species of the genus. A key separating the latter species from the other 6 valid species of the genus is included. (4) Slendrorhynchus breviclaviproboscis gen. n., sp. n. (Diplosentidae, Allorhadinorhynchinae), from Lagocephalus lunaris (Bloch and Schneider, 1801) and Leiognathus bindus (Cuvier and Valenciennes, 1835). It has trunk spines that cover almost the entire body and 4 cement glands. The other 2 monotypic genera of the subfamily, Allorhadinorhunchus Yamaguti, 1959, with 2 cement glands and Golavanorhynchus Noronha, Fabio, and Pinto, 1978, with 6 cement glands, have spines in the anterior part of the trunk only. The diagnosis of the subfamily Allorhadinorhynchinae is emended. (5) Juveniles of Serrasentis sagittifer (Rhadinorhynchidae) were recovered from the body cavity of 6 fish species; all are new host records.},
