	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.},

	abstract = {Neoechinorhynchus (Neoechinorhynchus) buckneri n. sp. is described from the blacktail redhorse Moxostoma poecilurum (Jordon) (Catostomidae) in the Tchoutacabouffa River, Mississippi, U.S.A. It is the sixteenth species of Neoechinorhynchus Stiles and Hassall, 1905, with unequal lemnisci, and the sixth in a subgroup with dorsal body wall markedly thicker than ventral. Another species of the latter group, Neoechinorhynchus (Hebesoma) carinalus Buckner and Buckner, 1993, was also collected in the Tchoutacabuffa River, Mississippi, and tributaries of 2 other streams in Louisiana, U.S.A., from the sharpfin chubsucker, Erimyzon tenuis (Agassiz). All 3 streams from the 2 adjacent states discharge into the Gulf of Mexico. Most of these 16 species occur in North American freshwater fishes. Females of N. buckneri n. sp. are twice as long as males and their dorsal body wall is 4 times as thick as the ventral body wall, compared with 2.5 times as thick in males. All other shared structures are of similar size in both sexes. Proboscis armature is unremarkable, with hook circles being evenly spaced and hook sizes in each circle of similar size, but slightly decreasing in size posteriorly from 38-42 μm long anteriorly to 33-34 μm long at middle to 25 μm long posteriorly in both sexes. It is further distinguished from the group of 16 other species of Neoechinorhynchus with unequal lemnisci and body wall thickness, by having moderately but not extremely diverse leminisci, noncontiguous testes, and posterior testis distant from cement gland. A key distinguishing N. buckneri n. sp. from other species with different dorsoventral body wall thickness is provided. Scanning electron microscopy studies show the porous cuticular surface and the curling of the posterior end of breeding females caused by the contraction of the paired paravaginal muscles, among other features.},
