Euterranova is a genus of parasitic nematodes that have life cycles involving elasmobranchs. [1] The genus was created in 2020 to accommodate species which were previously included in Terranova Leiper & Atkinson, 1914 [2] a taxon considered to be invalid. [1]
The name Euterranova is composed of Terranova (the name of a nematode genus) and the prefix Eu- (= proper, true). [1] The gender is feminine.
The type-species is E. dentiduplicata Moravec & Justine, 2020. It was described in 2020 from specimens from the stomach of the Zebra shark Stegostoma fasciatum , collected from off New Caledonia.
Other species are listed in the taxobox. All are parasites of elasmobranchs. An undescribed species (Euterranova sp.) was also recorded from the shark Triaenodon obesus off New Caledonia. [1]
The blacktailed spurdog is a dogfish, a member of the family Squalidae, found around New Caledonia in the central Pacific Ocean, at depths from 320 to 320 m. Its length is up to 75 cm.
The blacktip grouper, also known as the redbanded grouper, blacktipped cod, black-tipped rockcod, footballer cod, red-barred cod, red-barred rockcod, scarlet rock-cod or weathered rock-cod, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a grouper from the subfamily Epinephelinae which is part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses. It is found in the tropical Indo-Pacific region. It is the type species of the genus Epinephelus.
The Anisakidae are a family of intestinal nematodes (roundworms). The larvae of these worms can cause anisakiasis when ingested by humans, in raw or insufficiently cooked fish.
Capillaria is a genus of nematodes in the family Capillariidae .
Paracapillaria is a genus of parasitic nematodes. Species of the genus Paracapillaria parasitise fishes and amphibians, reptiles (snakes), and a single species, Paracapillaria philippinensis(Chitwood, Velasquez & Salazar, 1968), is known from birds and mammals including man.
Huffmanela is a genus of parasitic nematodes, belonging to the family Trichosomoididae.
Huffmanela lata is a parasitic nematode. It has been observed on the skin of the grey reef shark Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos off New Caledonia. This species has only been reported once in the scientific literature.
Philometra fasciati is a species of parasitic nematode of fishes, first found off New Caledonia in the South Pacific, in the gonads Epinephelus fasciatus. This species is characterized mainly by: length of spicules and length and structure of its gubernaculum; structure of male caudal end; body size; location in host and types of hosts.
Cucullanus is a genus of parasitic nematodes. The genus includes more than 100 species.
Physalopteridae is a family of spirurian nematodes, which belongs to the superfamily Physalopteroidea. Like all nematodes, they have neither a circulatory nor a respiratory system.
Rasheedia is a genus of nematodes in the order Spirurida. The nematode genus BulbocephalusRasheed, 1966 was found to be a homonym of BulbocephalusWatson, 1916 and, therefore, a new name, Rasheedia n. nom., was proposed in 2018 to substitute it.
Rasheedia heptacanthi is a parasitic nematode in the genus Rasheedia.
Rasheedia novaecaledoniensis is a parasitic nematode in the genus Rasheedia.
Cucullanus epinepheli is a species of parasitic nematodes. It is an endoparasite of the brown spotted reef cod Epinephelus chlorostigma. The species has been described in 2018 by František Moravec & Jean-Lou Justine from material collected off New Caledonia in the South Pacific Ocean.
Cystidicolidae is a family of spirurian nematodes. It was created by Skrjabin in 1946. All members of the family are parasites of fish.
Ascarophis is a genus of parasitic nematodes, belonging to the family Cystidicolidae. Species of Ascarophis are parasitic as adults in the gastrointestinal tract of marine and estuarine fishes.
Ascarophisnema is a genus of parasitic nematodes, belonging to the family Cystidicolidae. Species of Ascarophisnema are parasitic as adults in the gastrointestinal tract of fish. According to the World Register of Marine Species, the genus currently (2019) includes a single species, Ascarophisnema tridentatum.
Terranova is a genus of parasitic nematodes. Species from this genus are known to parasitise sharks, rays, sawfishes, teleosts and crocodilians.
Neoterranova is a genus of parasitic nematodes that have life cycles involving sharks and reptiles. The genus was created in 2020 to accommodate species which were previously included inTerranovaLeiper & Atkinson, 1914 a taxon considered to be invalid.
Ichthyofilaroides is a genus of parasitic nematodes, belonging to the family Guyanemidae Petter, 1974.
