Introduction
Long-termed parasitological investigations of the Black Sea fishes have revealed a reach trematode
fauna of these hosts (Gaevskaya et al., 1975). Nevertheless, we continue the research of the Black Sea fishes
trematode fauna and to obtain the new results.
In 1996 we dissected one specimen of the Black Sea pipefish, Syngnathus typhle Linnaeus (total length
310 mm, male), and found four gravid trematodes in its middle intestine. The detailed study of these
specimens revealed that they belong to Aphallus tubarium (Rudolphi, 1819) Poche, 1926. The representatives
of genus Aphallus are unknown in the Black Sea, therefore, our finding is the first record of this genus from
this sea. Below we describe the morphology of A. tubarium from the Black Sea.
Aphallus tubarium (Rudolphi, 1819) Poche, 1926 (fig. 1)
Ma t e r i a l s t u d i e d: slides N 22.1/1055.1 and 22.1/1055.2, the Black Sea, Sevastopol (Streletskaya
Bay), December 18, 1996 (Korniychuk), host — pipefish, Syngnathus typhle L. Slides are held in the
collection of the Institute of Biology of the southern Seas, NAS of Ukraine (Sevastopol).
De s c r i p t i o n. Large trematodes; body elongated, slightly enlarged at level of
ventral sucker. Tegument spined. Two groups of pigment granules at level of anterior
margin of pharynx. Oral sucker rounded, terminal, aperture subterminal. Ventral suck-
er slightly smaller than oral one. Forebody is about 20% of body length. Prepharynx
short, pharynx rounded, oesophagus moderately long. Intestinal bifurcation in the mid-
dle of forebody. Caeca broad, extents to posterior extremity, terminate blindly. Testes
two, rounded or oviform; tandem or slightly diagonal; may be contiguous; in posterior
half of hindbody. Posterior testis is larger than the anterior one. Vesicula seminalis
tubular, very long, coiled. Genital pore median; at level of anterior margin of acetab-
ulum. Ovary three-lobed; median or submedian; pretesticular. Loops of uterus in hind-
body are laterally to testes and also in post-testicular region (testes may also be sepa-
rated by uterine loops) and pre-ovarian region. Uterus forms the cross loops above level
of ovary, these loops dorsal to seminal vesicle.

Eggs fine; extremely numerous. Vite-
llarium follicular; in lateral fields, dorsal to
caeca; from level of middle of seminal vesi-
cle to anterior boundary of posterior testis.
M e a s u r e m e n t s ( m m). Body
length 2.553–3.243; body width 0.552;
oral sucker 0.152–0.179 x 0.193–0.221;
ventral sicker (diameter) 0.152–0.166;
pharynx (diameter) 0.097–0.110; anteri-
or testis 0.317–0.386 x 0.290–0.317; pos-
terior testis 0.345–0.400 x 0.290–0.386;
ovary 0.207–0.276 x 0.207–0.386; eggs
(n = 12) 0.19–0.022 x 0.008–0.011; bo-
dy length: body width ratio 4.63–5.88;
oral sucker length : ventral sucker length
ratio 1.0–1.2 : 1; oral sucker width : ven-
tral sucker width ratio 1.16–1.33 : 1;
forebody (% of the body-length) 17–19;
post-testicular space (% the of body-
length) 10–13.
D i s c u s s i o n. The morphology of
Black Sea specimens is very similar to that
of the Mediterranean A. tubarium described
by Bartoli, Bray (1987) and Dollfus
(1952); it also corresponds to the descrip-
tion of Adriatic forms of this species given
by Janiszewska (1953). The main differ-
ence is the position of the posterior bound-
ary of vitellarium fields (they are less exten-
sive in the Black Sea worms). Worth noting
also what a small space approximately at the
level of the ovary separating two groups of vitellaria on the two sides of the body presents in
description of Janiszewska (1953) and Dollfus (1952) but is barely visible on our specimens.
Nevertheless, it is difficult to evaluate the taxonomic significance of these features because
we have only four individuals from the Black Sea. These specimens have relatively bigger
gonads than those described by Janiszewska (1953) and Bartoli, Bray (1987).
The Mediterranean fishes of Sciaenidae, Scombridae, Sparidae Carangidae,
Serranidae and Lophiidae families are known as definitive hosts of A. tubarium (Bartoli,
Bray, 1987). The grass goby, Gobius (Zosterisessor) ophiocephalus is known as an inter-
mediate host for A. tubarium (Dollfus, 1952). This goby is the common food for men-
tioned fishes. Because the pipefish, Syngnathus typhle, is also able to catch small gob-
ies, for example, Aphya sp. (Andriyaschev, Arnoldi, 1945), it is possibly to suppose that
small juvenile grass gobies infected with A. tubarium metacercariae could be an infec-
tion source for pipefish.
We would like to thank Dr. R. Bray (the Natural History Museum, London) for help with literature.
Thanks are also due to Mr. A. Chernyshov for sampling of fish.
