Abstract

A survey aimed at exploring the endoparasitic acephaline gregarine diversity in South-western Bengal, detected a new species of the genus Monocystis Stein, 1848, that resides in the seminal vesicles of the earthworm, Apporectodea trapezoides Duges collected in the district of Bankura from alluvial soil. Monocystis apporectodae sp. nov. is a ribbon-like organism with one or more prominent constrictions especially in some mature forms and measures 178.0-224.0 (203.0±5.0) urn x 37.0-58.0 (46.0±1.5) fim. The extreme ends are pointed. Its gametocysts are ovoid and measure 108.0-118.Oum (113.0±l.l) x 79.0-89.0 (83.0±l.l) um Oocysts are navicular in shape. The length of the oocysts ranges from 10.0-14.6 and the width, from 5.5-8.1 um.

Özet

Güneybatı Bengal'deki enoparazitik asefalin (aseptat) gregarin çeşitliliğini tespit etme amaçlı araştırma esnasında Bankura Bölgesi alüvyon toprağından toplanan toprak solucanı Apporectodea trapezoides Duges'in seminal vesiküllerinde yaşayan Monocystis Stein, 1884 cinsine dahil yeni bir tür ile karşılaşılmıştır. Monocystis apporectodae sp. nov. bir veya daha fazla bariz yapısal farklılığa sahip çubuk benzeri bir organizmadır; bilhassa bazı olgun formları 178.0-224.0 (203.0±5.0) um x 37.0-58.0 (46.0±1.5) um boyutlarında olup, uç kısımlarda sivridir. Gametokistleri ovoid şekilli ve 108.0-118.Oum (113.0±l.l) x 79.0-89.0 (83.0±l.l) um boyutlarındadır. Ookistleri navikular (kayık) şekilli olup uzunlukları 10.0-14.6 um ve genişlikleri 5.5-8.1 um arasında değişir.
