Biology:Transvenidae
Transvenidae is a family of parasitic spiny-headed (or thorny-headed) worms in the order Echinorhynchida. This family contains three species divided into two genera.
Taxonomy and description
Phylogenetic analysis has been conducted.[1]
Species
There are three genera and six species in the family Transvenidae:[2][3][lower-alpha 1][lower-alpha 2]
Paratrajectura
Paratrajectura Amin, Heckmann et Ali, 2018 contains one species:
- Paratrajectura longcementglandatus Amin, Heckmann et Ali, 2018
Sclerocollum
Sclerocollum Schmidt and Paperna, 1978 contains three species:
- Sclerocollum robustum (Edmonds, 1964)
- Sclerocollum rubrimaris Schmidt and Paperna, 1978
- Sclerocollum saudii Al-Jahdali, 2010
Trajectura
Trajectura Pichelin & Cribb, 2001[6] contains two species: Trajectura is distinguished by the possession of only two cement glands and an anterior conical projection (function unknown) on the females.[6]
- Trajectura ikedai (Machida, 1992)[7]
Diplosentis ikedai was found to share similar anatomical features (only two cement glands and an anterior conical projection on females) was renamed T. ikedai.[6]
- Trajectura perinsolens Pichelin and Cribb, 2001
T. perinsolens Was found parasitising the New Guinea wrasse Anampses neoguinaicus from the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia.[6]
Transvena
Transvena Pichelin & Cribb, 2001[6] contains one species:
- Transvena annulospinosa Pichelin and Cribb, 2001
Hosts
- Hosts for Transvenidae species
-
The New Guinea wrasse (Anampses neoguinaicus) is one of the hosts of T. perinsolens
Notes
- ↑ A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than the present genus.
- ↑ Pararhadinorhynchus Johnston & Edmonds, 1947[4] including Pararhadinorhynchus magnus.[5] Pararhadinorhynchus is sometimes classified within the Diplosentidae.[5]
