The taxonomic status of the fish cestode Proteocephalus dubius La Rue, 1911, a rare parasite of perch (Perca fluviatilis), is discussed on the basis of morphological and isoenzyme analyses. The results reveal that P. dubius represents only an infrequent morphological form of P. percae characterized by a small, rounded and shallow apical organ, elongate and/or rectangular proglottides and relatively long cirrus-sac reaching to the mid-line of the proglottis.
Résumé
La place de Proteocephalus dubius La Rue, 1911, un cestode de poisson rare parasite de la perche (Perca fluvialitis), est discutée sur la base d'une analyse morphologique et isoenzymatique. Les résultats montrent que P. dubius ne représente qu'une forme morphologique peu fréquente de P. percae, caractérisée par un organe apical court, arrondi et de peu d'épaisseur, des proglottis allongés et/ou rectangulaires et une poche de cirre relativement longue atteignant le milieu du proglottis.
