Checklist of the shore fishes of the Mentawai Islands, Nias Island and the Padang Region of West Sumatra

This paper presents a checklist of reef fishes of West Sumatra and adjacent provinces. The list includes 362 species of 143 genera and 46 families and contains seven new records and nine probable new species for Indonesia. It also uses information from sources only available in Bahasa Indonesia. The relative paucity of the fish fauna in West Sumatra seems to be related to the habitat destruction caused by illegal fishing with explosives or poisons such as cyanide.

Nueva lista de las aves de la provincia de Buenos Aires.

El presente trabajo aporta información de base para el seguimiento y evaluación de la biodiversidad de las aves a escala local o regional. Para la realización de la lista, hemos tenido como punto de referencia la Lista sistemática de las aves de la provincia de Buenos Aires de N. Bó y C. Darrieu 1991 y Las aves de la provincia de Buenos Aires: distribución y estatus de T. Narosky y A. Di Giácomo 1993. La presente enumeración considera todas las especies de aves que habitan la provincia de Buenos Aires, es decir aquellas que nidifican o que pasan gran parte del año en la misma. Se excluyen, por lo tanto, aquellas especies accidentales y ocasionales. Los datos se basan en citas bibliográficas recientes, material de colección y observaciones de campo realizadas por los autores. Para indicar la distribución geográfica de las aves se ha seguido el esquema propuesto por Ringuelet y Arámburu (1957, Enumeración sistemática de los Vertebrados de la Provincia de Buenos Aires). Según el mismo se divide a la provincia en cuatro áreas: la 1 posee una avifauna de tipo subtropical; en la 2 se encuentran aves pampeanas con ingresión de especies de la Provincia Chaqueña (Distrito Occidental); en la 4 la avifauna presenta un gran número de especies que llegan por el sur desde la Provincia del Monte (Distrito Meridional) y de la Provincia Patagónica (Distrito Occidental); el área 3 es de transición con aporte de especies de las otras zonas. La presente lista comprende los nombres científicos tomados de Altman & Swift (1989), Checklist of the Birds of South America. Para los nombres vulgares se siguió a Navas et al (1991). Lista Patrón de Nombres Comunes de las Aves Argentinas. Se incluye además una lista de las especies exóticas naturalizadas. (Text is in Spanish.

Marine Flora and Fauna of the Eastern United States: Dicyemida

This manual treats the six species of dicyemid mesozoans that have been reported in three species of hosts (Octopus vulgaris, O. joubini, and O. briareus) from the eastern coast of North America and the Gulf of Mexico, including the Florida Keys. All are parasites of species of Octopus and are in the genus Dicyema, family Dicyemidae. In the introduction, the life cycle, as known, and the general morphology of dicyemids are briefly described, and methods are given for collecting and preparing material for study. These are followed by a key to species and by an annotated checklist, which includes data, some hitherto unpublished, on their known prevalence in hosts from various localities including Bimini and Bermuda.(PDF file contains 20 pages.)

Marine flora and fauna of the eastern United States Mollusca: Cephalopoda

The cephalopods found in neritic waters of the northeastern United States include myopsid and oegopsid squids, sepiolid squids, and octopods. A key with diagnostic illustrations is provided to aid in identification of the eleven species common in the neritic waters between Cape Hatteras and Nova Scotia; included also is information on two oceanic species that occur over the continental shelf in this area and that can be confused with similar-looking neritic species. Other sections comprise a glossary of taxonomic characters used for identification of these species, an annotated systematic checklist, and checklists of the 89 other oceanic species and 18 Carolinian and subtropical neritic species that might occur occasionally off the northeastern United States. (PDF file contains 30 pages.)

A new species of Henneguya (Myxosporida, Protozoa) from West African catfish, Clarias lazera Val., with a review of the genus Henneguya Thelohan, 1892

A new species of myxosporida, Henneguya clariae, is described from the gills of Claria’s Iazera caught from various waters in Nigeria. Pathogenic effects in the destruction of the components of the branchial system are about 25% of Clarias lazera. A review of the genera Henneguya myxobilatus, and Neohenneguya is made and these were synonymised, with some reservations in the case of to Henneguya. A checklist of the genus Henneguya is given.
