Abstract

The second part of the catalogue of type material deposited in the Helminthological Collection of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute/ FIOCRUZ (CHIOC), between 1979 and 2016, is presented, to complement the first list of all types that was published in 1979. This part includes Platyhelminthes other than monogenoids, which were covered in the first part published in September 2016. The present catalogue comprises type material for 104 species, distributed across three classes, 40 families and 75 genera. Species names are listed systematically, followed by type host, infection site, type locality and specimens with their collection numbers and references. The classification and the nomenclature of the species have been updated.

Introduction

The century-old Helminthological Collection of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute/ FIOCRUZ (CHIOC), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, contains helminths that form part of the fauna of Brazil and other countries, from a wide range of hosts that were caught in different biomes. The samples are holotypes, paratypes and representative specimens of Platyhelminthes, Acanthocephala, Nematoda and other non-helminth phyla. Today, the CHIOC holds around 38.400 samples of helminth parasites from South America and other continents. It is the biggest collection in Latin America and it is among the largest collections at a worldwide reference level (Rego 1982, Knoff et al. 2010). Details about the history and composition of CHIOC were presented in Lopes et al. (2016).

The first catalogue of all type material held in the CHIOC recorded 719 types of helminths (only holotypes or type series): 408 of nematodes, 216 of digenetic trematodes, 11 of monogenoids, 52 of acanthocephalans, 28 of cestodes and four of pentastomids (Rego et al. 1979). Since publication of the first catalogue, the collection has grown substantially and the number of types has increased significantly as well. Recently, Lopes et al. (2016) published another catalogue listing 203 type species of Monogenoidea. The present catalogue is the second list of type species held in this collection, and it includes platyhelminths of the classes Rhabditophora, Trematoda and Cestoda that have been deposited in CHIOC since 1979. The purpose of this article is to inform the scientific community about the types deposited in CHIOC, up to 1 December 2016. In our presentation, we have followed the articles of the Code (ICZN 1999).

Materials and methods

The specimens are stored in glass or plastic vials in 70% ethanol or as microscope slide preparations. All the material is available for consultation, but holotypes are not loaned. Unless otherwise stated, all type material is in good condition.

The catalogue is arranged taxonomically as classes, subclasses, orders, families, genera and species, under the original spelling and combinations. Classes and subclasses are arranged following phylogenetic order. Orders, families, genera and species are arranged alphabetically. The information on each entry is presented in the following format:

1. Original genus-species combination with author(s) and year of publication. Asterisk (*) denotes the type species of the genus.

2. Type host: updated scientific name, author(s) and year, with original scientific name in square brackets (when changed), followed by principal taxonomic group in parentheses.

3. Infestation or infection site in the host.

4. Type locality: country, province or state, department, specific locality and coordinates (if available).

5. Primary type status: CHIOC catalogue number. The categories for the types used followed articles 73–75 of the Code (ICZN 1999).

6. Remark sections are inserted when necessary and include additional information about host, locality or status of the species and types.

7. References include publications in which the species was described and those that mention type specimens in the CHIOC.

The valid names adopted for parasitized hosts follow specific bibliographies. Gastropod names are present in accordance with Rosenberg (2010); crustaceans, with Young (1998); caddisflies, with Paprocki and França (2014); stoneflies, with Froehlich (2010); bugs, with De Carlo (1967) and Ribeiro (2007); fish, with Froese and Pauly (2016); amphibians, with Frost (2006); reptiles, with Uetz et al. (2016); birds, with Lepage and Warnier (2014); and mammals, with Wilson and Reeder (2005). Mention of rhabditophorans, trematodes, cestodes and host species in this list does not imply that the authors of the present report agree with their validity or taxonomy. Some species catalogued have been synonymized and the comments about their taxonomy are in the remark sections. The higher classification of Rhabditophora follows Littlewood and Bray (2001) and Willems et al. (2006); Trematoda follows Gibson et al. (2002), Olson et al. (2003), Jones et al. (2005) and Bray et al. (2008); and Cestoda follows the Global Cestode Database (2016). The classification of families and genera follows specific references.

Results and discussion

This database and bibliographic survey presents the diversity of Rhabditophora, Trematoda (subclasses Aspidogastrea and Digenea) and Cestoda types in CHIOC, from Brazil and other countries in the world, covering more than 35 years of parasitological studies. We have now added 39 primary types of Rhabditophora, represented by eight species within one family (Temnocephalidae) and genus (Temnocephala); approximately 270 primary types of Trematoda, represented by 52 species distributed across 29 families and 46 genera; and approximately 130 primary types of Cestoda, represented by 44 species distributed across ten families and 28 genera. Among the trematodes, Rugogastridae was the only family of Aspidogastrea catalogued, while seven families of Digenea (Cryptogonimidae, Gorgoderidae, Haploporidae, Lecithasteridae, Lepocreadiidae, Monorchiidae and Opecoelidae) were the most representative, with three species each. Among the cestodes, Monticelliidae was the most representative family, with 21 species, followed by Proteocephalidae, with 13 species.

One hundred and four parasites of 70 species of vertebrate hosts and eight species of invertebrate hosts were catalogued. Most of the trematode and cestode type species recorded (84%) were parasites of bony fishes, as were the Monogenoidea (Lopes et al. 2016). Pimelodidae was the host family that presented the greatest diversity of parasites, with 23 species. Only five cestode species were parasites of cartilaginous fishes (Narcinidae, Potamotrygonidae, Triakidae and Urolophidae). The Tetrapoda hosts were frogs, birds, mammals and reptiles. One cestode species was a parasite of toads (Bufonidae) and one digenetic trematode species was a parasite of birds (Scolopacidae). Among the helminth parasites of mammals, one digenetic trematode species was a parasite of bats (Phyllostomidae), and one cestode and four digenetic trematodes species were parasites of rats (Cricetidae) and mice (Muridae). Among the helminth parasites of reptiles, five digenetic trematode species were parasites of alligators (Alligatoridae), two digenetic trematode species were parasites of lizards (Gekkonidae), two cestodes and one digenetic trematode species were parasites of snakes (Colubridae and Tropidophiidae), and one digenetic trematode species was a parasite of turtles (Podocnemididae). All temnocephalids were parasites of invertebrates: one species was a parasite of gastropods (Neritidae), one species was a parasite of caddisflies (Odontoceridae), one species was a parasite of stoneflies (Perlidae), two species were parasites of bugs (Belostomatidae and Naucoridae) and three species were parasites of freshwater crustaceans (Aeglidae and Trichodactylidae). Most of the species was collected in Brazil (90%), from all regions of this country except the northeast. Other samples were collected from Central America (Costa Rica) and South America (Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Uruguay).

Holotype

CHIOC 32184.

Paratype

CHIOC 32183.

Remarks

CHIOC 32183 was indicated as a paratype in the cataloguing data of CHIOC, but not in the original description. After reviewing the information and slides of M. brooksi, we concluded that the specimen is a paratype. Collection numbers are referred to as “29183” and “29184” in the original description due to a mistake. Megathylacus brooksi is considered conspecific with M. jandia Woodland, 1934 by de Chambrier et al. (2014), but is considered a valid name in the Global Cestode Database (2016).

Remarks

Species referred to as Myzophorus woodlandi by Rego (1984) and Nomimoscolex woodlandi by Rego and Pavanelli (1992). de Chambrier and Vaucher (1997) proposed a new name, Proteocephalus hemioliopteri, for N. woodlandi to avoid homonymy with P. woodlandi Moghe, 1926. Rego (1984) did not designate holotype and paratypes or labeled the slides as type material. Among the syntypes referred to as “32088 a–g” in the original description, the specimens “c” and “f” were analyzed, separated and reallocated by de Chambrier in CHIOC, because they belong to another genus.
