STUDIES ON THE ENDOPARASITIC FAUNA OF TRINIDAD: III. SOME PARASITES OF TRINIDAD CARNIVORES

Two new species of cestodes, five of nematodes, two of Acanthocephala and one linguatid are recorded from carnivores in Trinidad, B.W.I.

On two new Cestodes from the Amazon Siluroid FishBrachyplatystoma vaillantiCuv. and Val

Brachyplatystoma vaillantiis locally very common in the Amazon river, though, during my collecting tour in 1931, I examined only twenty-two examples, caught between Codajaz (nearly 1200 miles from the sea) and Gurupa. The local name of this Siluroid is Piramutāb; it is a fairly large fish (my largest specimen measuring 67 cm. in length) and possesses very long maxillary barbels (in some cases nearly as long as the body). From this fish I obtained two new species of Cestodes, one, the more numerous parasite, is a Phyllobothriid, and, so far as I am aware, this is the first occasion on which a Phyllobothriid has been described both from a fresh-water fish and from a Siluroid; and the other is a second and new species of Fuhrmann's genusGoezeella, very closely related to hisG. siluridescribed in 1915.

The Cestode Genus Mesocestoides Vaillant

The genus Mesocestoides was created in 1863 by Vaillant to receive a new species of cestode found by him in Viverra genetta and named M. ambiguus. Unfortunately, the description of this form is such that, although the generic characters can be recognised, it is impossible to say to which of the several species found in mammals it should be referred, and therefore Fuhrmann (1908) regarded it as a species inquirenda. Weiss (1910), in redescribing a form of Mesocestoides from the same host, gives no details which would enable the parasite to be distinguished from the other members of the genus. He notes that his form is only 50 mm. long, while that described by Vaillant was 160 to 240 mm. long. However, as Neumann (1896) points out, M. lineatus has a size varying between 30 and 250 mm. The size of M. ambiguus therefore is only of use in showing that it does not belong to the species M. bassarisci or M. cæstus referred to later in this paper. It still leaves its identity a matter of speculation as, in addition to M. lineatus, M. mesorchis has dimensions which fall within these limits.
