	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 macrotepis (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 AHorhadinorhynchmae is emended. (5) Juveniles of Serrasentis sagittifer (Rhadinorhynchidae) were recovered from the body cavity of 6 fish species; all are new host records.},

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.},

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.},

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 = {Neolacunisoma geraldschmidti gen. n., sp. n. (Centrorhynchidae), is described from 7 species of shorebirds (Caradriiformes) in South Africa. Worms are spindle-shaped: proboscis globular anteriorly where it has 39-43 longitudinal rows of 9-11 rooted hooks per row and cylindrical posteriorly where it has 2-5 rootless spines per row; males with 2 preequatorial contiguous longer than wide testes and 3 tubular cement glands; females with subterminal gonopore and elongate ovoid sculptured eggs. The new genus is intermediate between the only 2 other genera of the family Centrorhynchidae, Sphaerirostris Golvan, 1956, and Centrorhynchus L{\"u}he, 1911. 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 = {Six species of acanthocephalans were collected from 30 of 62 surveyed species of fish in Lake Biwa, the most ancient lake in Japan, and from various water bodies in the lake{\textquoteright}s drainage basin including the Seta and Daido Rivers. The 3 most common species were Acanthocephalus opsariichthydis Yamaguti, 1935 (8 new host records), Echinorhynchus cotti Yamaguti, 1935 (7 new host records), and Pseudorhadinorhynchus samegaiensis Nakajima and Egusa, 1975 (7 new host records; perhaps endemic to Lake Biwa and its basin). The latter 2 species were found only in the spring. Specimens of both species were also found in Gymnogobius isaza (Tanaka, 1916) in the autumn. Gravid females of all 3 species were found in the spring. Developed cystacanths of Southwellina hispida (Van Cleave, 1925) Witenberg, 1932 were also collected (5 new host records). Anatomical similarities between these species and the original descriptions are clearly evident, but differences in certain key characteristics are noted. Two recently described species of Acanthogyrus (Acanthosentis) Verma and Datta, 1929, Acanthogyrus (Acanthosentis) alternatspinus Amin, 2005, and Acanthogyrus (Acanthosentis) parareceptaclis Amin, 2005 were also first collected in the course of this survey. Three species previously recorded in the 1920s and 1930s from Lake Biwa were not found in the present survey: Acanthocephalus aculeatus Van Cleave, 1931, Acanthocephalus gotoi Van Cleave, 1925, and Echinorhynchus parasiluri Fukui, 1929.},

	abstract = {The para-receptacle structure (PRS) was first described in Neoechinorhynchus (Neoechinorhynchus) qatarensis Amin, Saoud, and Alkuwari, 2002 (Neoechinorhynchidae), as a prominent vesicle connected proximally to the anterior body wall and distally to the posterior wall of the proboscis receptacle then extending into the body cavity of males and females as a posterior conduit tube. The PRS has since been observed in Neoechinorhynchus (Neoechinorhynchus) golvani Salgado-Maldonado, 1978 (a new subgeneric diagnosis), and described in a member of another eoacanthocephalan family, Acanthogyrus (Acanthosentis) parareceptaclis Amin, 2005 (Quadrigyridae). In the latter species, a similar structure was also observed at the posterior end of the trunk. Our optical and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations in specimens of N. qatarensis show the PRS as a tandemly arranged set of nucleated cells delimited by a double-walled membrane and a muscular wall. It appears to be contractile with a secretory function related to changes in the hydrostatic pressure that may be associated with the extrusion and retraction of the proboscis in worms with weakly developed proboscis receptacle musculature. This is the first detailed study of the PRS and of its proposed function in the only 3 acanthocephalan species from which it has been identified to date. It is considered as an archaic structure present only in a few representatives of some primitive taxa having only a single-walled proboscis receptacle wall.},

	abstract = {Heterosentis holospinus n. sp. is 1 of 11 species of acanthocephalans collected from 13 species of marine fish in Halong Bay, Vietnam, in 2008 and 2009. The striped eel catfish, Plotosus lineatus (Thunberg, 1787), harbored a large number of individuals of the new species. Species of Heterosentis Van Cleave, 1931, are characterized by having 2 or 3 types of proboscis hooks in 10-14 rows, and trunk spines. Of the 15 known species of Heterosentis (including the new species), H. holospinus is distinguished by having a trunk entirely covered with spines and an anterior trunk cone free of spines. Only Heterosentis overstreeti Schmidt and Paperna, 1978, has a trunk that is also entirely covered with spines; it, however, differs from H. holospinus by lacking an anterior trunk cone but having 4 giant nucleated muscle cells in the anterior trunk, and 2 basal spines per proboscis hook row. Heterosentis holospinus has no such muscle cells, and the proboscis contains 3-4 spines per row. Only 2 other species of Heterosentis have anterior trunk cones: Heterosentis septacanthus (Sita, 1949) Golvan 1969, which has a cylindrical trunk and proboscis, only anterior trunk spines, and smaller proboscis hooks, and Heterosentis plotosi Yamaguti, 1935, which has 4 nucleated giant muscle cells, only anterior trunk spines, and 4-5 spines per proboscis hook row. The characteristics of H. holospinus are described and compared with those of the other 14 species of Heterosentis. A key to the 15 species of the genus is included. The justification for the retention of the 3 subfamilies of Arhythmacanthidae no longer applies, and their deletion is proposed. {\textcopyright} 2011 The Helminthological Society of Washington.},

	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.},

	abstract = {The only 2 published taxonomic accounts of Neoechinorhynchus tenellus are those of Van Cleave (1913) and Van Cleave (1919) from Esox lucius Linnaeus and Sander vitreus (Mitchili) (=Stizostedion vitreus (Mitchill)). While Van Cleave{\textquoteright}s original description is adequate to identify N. tenellus, his description of proboscis armature, lemnisci, reproductive system in both sexes, and eggs was either not complete or in error. We studied the original type material and found their present state to be of little use for elucidating characters that were not already illustrated and described by Van Cleave. For that reason we studied newly collected, conspecific specimens to better document key morphological features of this species. Our description of the Michigan material from the same 2 fish species was compared with the original description and with Van Cleave{\textquoteright}s cotypes (designated syntypes). Our revised description includes the following: (1) trunk of males and females is widest in anterior third tapering gradually at both ends. (2) Lateral anterior hooks are markedly larger than and set more posterior to the other 4 hooks of the same circle. Middle hooks not in perfect circle but alternate. (3) Middle and posterior hooks with discoidal bases. (4) Lemnisci are subequal. (5) Eggs have distinct polar prolongation of fertilization membrane, which places the species in the subgenus Hebesoma Van Cleave, 1928. New observations address sexual dimorphism, the larger size of specimens from S. vitreus than from E. lucius, the apical organ, giant nuclei, sensory pits on the proboscis, and details of the reproductive system in both sexes.},

	abstract = {About 2,000 specimens of the quadrigyrid acanthocephalan Acanthogyrus (Acanthosentis) tilapiae (Baylis, 1948) were collected from 9 species of cichlid fish hosts (Cichlidae: Perciformes) in 7 different sites in Lake Malawi, Africa, during September 2005. New host records are noted in 5 species, Labeotropheus trewavasae (Fryer), Melanochromis vermivorus (Trewavas), Nimbochromis polystigma (Regan), Tropheops microstoma (Trewavas), and Rhamphochromis sp. (Regan). High prevalence of A. tilapiae was observed in all host species analyzed. The parasite manages to infect its cichlid hosts, despite their distinct trophic specializations. Nevertheless, significant variation in parasite load was detected between sympatrically occurring rock-dwelling (mbuna) cichlids, with Pseudotropheus zebra (Boulenger) showing the most heavy infections. In addition, significant variation in parasite burden was detected between sampling locations, but host gender and weight did not explain significant variation in the numbers of A. tilapiae individuals. Differential exposure to parasites and host susceptibility may explain the marked variation in parasite abundance among cichlid hosts. Worms appear to be recruited in the summer, develop and mature through the winter, and reproduce sexually in late winter and spring.},

The present collection of many specimens of M. gallinarum from chickens, Gallus gallus L., in Indonesia provided the opportunity to describe the Indonesian population, report the full range of variation in morphometric characteristics, especially proboscis armature, correct a few misconceptions, and obtain scanning electron microscopy documentation of previously unreported structures including features of the proboscis and hooks, the epidermis, sensory pores, bursa, and egg topography. Additionally, Indonesia is a new locality record for M. gallinarum.</p>
