A new nematode species, Paracapilloria rhamdiae sp. n., is described from the stomach of the freshwater bagre (pimelodid catfish) Rhamdia guatemalensis (Gunther) from cenotes (= sinkholes) in Yucatan, Mexico. It is characterized by very small body measurements (body length of male and female 1.0 mm and 1.1-1.7 mm, respectively), a conspicuously short spicule (0.087 mm), very short stichocytes, and by the size (0.040-0.048 x 0.020-0.028 mm) of eggs; eggs in uterus may contain already fully formed larvae by which it differs from all other congeners (in addition to morphological features). This is the first Paracapillaria species reported from a freshwater fish in Mexico.
Résumé
Une nouvelle espèce de nématode,Paracapillaria rhamdiae n. sp., est observée dans l'estomac d'un silure d'eau douce (poisson-chat), Rhamdia guatemalensis (Günther) au Yucatan, Mexique. Elle est caractérisée par de très faibles mensurations (longueurs corporelles respectives du môle et de la femelle 1,0 et 1,1 à 1,7 mm), un spicule remarquablement court (1,087 mm), des stichocytes très courts et la taille des oeufs (0,040 à 0,048 x 0,020 à 0,028 mm) ; dans l'utérus les oeufs peuvent déjà contenir des larves complètement formées, ce en quoi l'espèce diffère de tous ses congénères (outre les traits morphologiques). C'est la première espèce de Paracapillaria rapportée chez un poisson d'eau douce du Mexique.
