Platybothrium yanae sp. nov. (Cestoda: Onchobothriidae) from the whitecheek shark, Carcharhinus dussumieri (Valenciennes), off southern Iran.
Platybothrium Linton, 1890 is a genus parasitizing sharks of the families Carcharhinidae and Sphyrnidae. No new species has been assigned to the genus in the 20 years since its last treatment. In the present study, a new species is described from the Persian Gulf, which is the second report of a species of Platybothrium in the Indian Ocean. Platybothrium yanae sp. nov. differs from P. auriculatum Yamaguti, 1952, P. cervinum Linton, 1890, P. tantulum Healy, 2003, and P. kirstenae Healy, 2003 in lacking, rather than having, an accessory piece between its hooks. This new species is distinguished from its other congeners by having a particular combination of features including its measurements, morphology, and meristic features, bringing the number of valid species in the genus to 11.
期刊介绍：
Systematic Parasitology publishes papers on the systematics, taxonomy and nomenclature of the following groups: Nematoda (including plant-parasitic), Monogenea, Digenea, Cestoda, Acanthocephala, Aspidogastrea, Cestodaria, Arthropoda (parasitic copepods, hymenopterans, mites, ticks, etc.), Protozoa (parasitic groups), and parasitic genera in other groups, such as Mollusca, Turbelleria, etc. Systematic Parasitology publishes fully illustrated research papers, brief communications, and fully illustrated major revisions. In order to maintain high standards, all contributors describing new taxa are asked to state clearly where the holotype is deposited and to make paratypes available for examination by the referees. It is recognized that, in some cases, this may cause problems for the authors, but it is hoped that by adhering to this rule authors may be protected against rapid synonymy of their taxa, and the types will be preserved for posterity.
