| Abstract: | Subadults (considerably developed immatures) of the quadrigyrid acanthocephalan Pallisentis rexus Wongkham & Whitfield, 1999 are described from the swamp eel, Monopterus albus (Zieuw, 1793) in Thailand. The species is placed in the subgenus Pallisentis. Our specimens are compared with adults of the same species collected from the freshwater snakehead Ophicephalus striata Bloch also from Thailand. Discrepancies from the original description are noted, certain structures, e.g., proboscis hook roots and brain (cepahalic ganglion), are re-interpreted, and additional information provided. |
