Abstract
Two new species of diphyllidean cestodes are described from the Persian Gulf Echinobothrium persiense n sp from Rhinobatos punctifer Compagno Randall and Echinobothrium hormozganiense n sp from Mustelus mosis Hemprich Ehrenberg E persiense is the first record of a species of Echinobothrium van Beneden 1849 from R punctifer and these two new species increase the number of diphyllideans known from the Persian Gulf from one to three The number of apical hooks of E persiense hook formula 5–6 6/5 5–6 is distinct from all other species in the genus except for E affine Diesing 1863 E harfordi McVicar 1976 E bonasum Williams Campbell 1980 E fautleyae Tyler Caira 1999 E syrtense Neifar Tyler Euzet 2001 Tyler 2006 emend E chisholmae Jones Beveridge 2001 E tetabuanense Ivanov Caira 2012 E sematanense Ivanov Caira 2012 and E weipaense Ivanov Caira 2012 Echinobothrium persiense can be distinguished from all other species of the genus with 11 apical hooks by a combination of the following features armed cephalic peduncle testes arranged in a single column lateral hooklets arranged in two groups Ushaped ovary cephalic peduncle length 124–181 μm genital pore and cirrussac position and by having 10–14 spines per row on the cephalic peduncle Echinobothrium hormozganiense has a hook formula of 12–15 16/15 12–15 and is similar to E musteli Pintner 1889 E notoguidoi Ivanov 1997 and E diamanti Ivanov Lipshitz 2006 by possessing additional spines between the rostellum and the bothria It differs from E musteli by having an Hshaped ovary and lateral hooklets arranged in two lateral groups and the number of spines per row on the cephalic peduncle 18–21 readily differentiates it from E notoguidoi 24–26 and E diamanti 95–118 With these two new species Echinobothrium van Beneden 1849 now includes 45 valid speciesWe gratefully acknowledge Dr T Valinasab of the Fisheries Research Organization of Iran for his support during collecting Financial support was provided through the German Research Council DFG PA 664/41 and 42 to HWP and the Iranian Ministry of Science Research and Technology to MH This study has been carried out within the framework of the NSF Planetary Biodiversity and Inventory Project Award Nos 0818696 and 0818823
