Description de Polystomoides nabedei n. sp., parasite de la vessie urinaire de la Tortue d’eau douce Pelomedusa subrufa Lacépède, 1788 au Togo.
P. nabedei est voisin de Polystomoides chabaudi Euzet et Combes, 1965 décrit à Madagascar et signalé en Ouganda par Tinsley (1973) chez le même hôte, mais s’en distingue par les crochets de la paire externe nettement plus longs, les crochets de la paire interne montrant une insertion de la garde très voisine de la pointe (alors qu’elle est à la mi-longueur du crochet chez P. chabaudi), l’extension des vitellogènes vers l’arrière nettement plus importante.
Abstract
Description of Polystomoides nabedei n. sp., a parasite of the bladder of the freshwater tortoise Pelomedusa subrufa Lacépède, 1788 in Togo.
P. nabedei is similar to Polystomoides chabaudi Euzet et Combes, 1965 described in Madagascar and reported from Uganda by Tinsley (1973) in the same host, but differs in that the hooks of the external pair are longer, the hooks of the internal pair show an insertion of the hilt very close to the point (while it is found to half the length in P. chabaudi), the vitellogenes are more developed in the post-testicular area.
