Hymenolepidid Cestodes from Grebes (Aves, Podicipedidae) in Ukraine: the Genera Dollfusilepis and Parafimbriaria. Vasileva G. P., Kornyushin V. V., Genov T. – A redescription of Dollfusilepis hoploporus (Dollfus, 1951) based on specimens from Podiceps cristatus in Ukraine (new geographical record) is presented. This species is also recorded from the same host species in Turkmenistan (new geographical record). Dollfusilepis grisegenicus Vasileva, Kornyushin, Genov, sp. n. from Podiceps grisegena is de- scribed. It differs from the type-species of Dollfusilepis hoploporus mainly by the presence of rosethorn- shaped spines on the protrusible poral part of the cirrus-sac. The generic diagnosis of Dollfusilepis Va- sileva, Georgiev, Genov, 1998 is amended. Parafimbriaria micracantha Gulyaev, 1990 is redescribed on the basis of specimens from P. nigricollis in Ukraine (new geographical record). Key wo rd s : Cestodes, grebes, Hymenolepididae, Dollfusilepis, Parafimbriaria, Ukraine. Introduction Cestodes from grebes in Ukraine were examined during the last 70 years by various authors (Gasowska, 1931; Smogorzhevskaya, 1954, 1959, 1964, 1976; Kornyushin, 1966, 1967; Sergienko, 1969, 1972; Grush- chinskaya, 1978). Most of these studies provide faunistic data only and do not present complete information on morphology of the cestode species. The Parasitological Collection of the I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine contains cestodes from grebes collected by L. A. Smogorzhevskaya, V. V. Kornyushin, I. V. Grushchinskaya during the last fifty years from various regions of the country. The aim of this article is to present the results of the examination of the genera Dollfusilepis Vasileva, Georgiev & Genov, 1998 and Parafimbriaria Voge & Read, 1954 preserved in this collection. The species composition of the genus Confluaria Ablasov in Spasskaya, 1966 will be a subject of another publica- tion. Material and methods Cestodes from the Parasitological Collection of the I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of the Na- tional Academy of Sciences of the Ukraine were examined. They had been isolated from 10 specimens of three grebe species: 5 Podiceps cristatus (L.), 1 P. grisegena (Boddaert) and 4 P. nigricollis (Brehm). The birds were captured in the period 1949—1995 from various regions of Ukraine, mainly along the Black Sea coast. Localities: Khreshchatik (river Dnieper), Zhovnino (Kremenchug Reservoir) – Cherkassy Region; districts Potievka and Solenoozerny, Black-Sea Biosphere Reserve (BSBR) – Kherson Region; Vilkovo (Danube G. P. Vasileva, V. V. Kornyushin, T. Genov 4 Delta) – Odessa Region.Cestodes were fixed in 70% ethanol, stained in iron acetocarmine, dehydrated in an ascending alcoholic series, cleared in eugenol and mounted in Canada balsam. Some scoleces and whole specimens were mounted in Berlese's medium. Details of hosts, localities and collection numbers are given in the text for each species. The measurements of the cirrus-sac, the external seminal vesicle, the vagina and the seminal receptacle were taken from mature proglottides only. The following measurements of the rostellar hooks were taken: the total length of the hook (together with the epiphyseal thickening); the length of the refractive particle (with- out epiphyseal thickenings); the length of the blade (measured from its base to the tip); the length of the base (the distance between the tip of the handle and the tip of the guard of the whole hook). The metrical data are given as the range, the mean in parentheses and the number of measurements taken (n). The measurements are given in micrometers unless otherwise stated. Results Dollfusilepis Vasileva, Georgiev & Genov, 1998 Diagnos i s (after Vasileva et al., 1998, with modifications): Strobila protandrous, slender. Scolex round, with conically protruded anterior part. Rostellar apparatus mus- culo-glandular. Rostellum armed with single crown of ten hooks. Each rostellar hook consisting of aploparaksoid refractive particle and epiphyseal thickening of handle. Suckers round, unarmed. Proglottides craspedote, wider than long. Inner longitudinal muscle bundles numerous. Genital pores unilateral. Genital ducts dorsal to osmoregu- latory canals. Testes three, arranged in triangle, usually one of them porally to female primordia. External seminal vesicle oval or elliptical. Internal seminal vesicle large, elliptical. Cirrus-sac elongate, crossing mid-line of proglottis, often extending to anti- poral osmoregulatory canals. Poral end of cirrus-sac protrusible, armed with refractive spines. Cirrus narrow, unarmed. Accessory sac and stylet lacking. Female glands dis- posed antiporally. Ovary with three compact lobes. Vitellarium oval, compact. Seminal receptacle voluminous, elliptical. Vagina with funnel-shaped, thick-walled, muscular copulatory part, surrounded with cellular sleeve and thin, tubular conductive part. Uterus sac-like, situated anteriorly and dorsally to female glands. Specific parasites of Podicipedidae. Palaearctic. Type-spec ies : D. hoploporus (Dollfus, 1951). Remarks . The genus Dollfusilepis was erected as monotypic for Hymenolepis hop- loporus Dollfus, 1951 on the basis of the re-examination of syntypes from P. cristatus in Morocco and specimens from the same host species from Bulgaria and Switzerland (Vasileva et al., 1998). On the basis of the Ukrainian material from P. grisegena, an- other species, D. grisegenicus sp. n., is described below. Therefore, the generic diagnosis of Dollfusilepis is amended in order to conform it to the morphology of D. grisegenicus.

The present results on D. hoploporus completely correspond to the previous descriptions (Dollfus, 1951; Vasileva et al., 1998), including the metrical da- ta (tabl. 1). D. hoploporus is a specific parasite of P. cristatus. It has been recorded in various regions of the Palaearctic: Morocco (Dollfus, 1951), Switzerland, Bulgaria (Vasileva et al., 1998) and Ukraine (present study). In the Parasitological Collection of the I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of the Ukraine, specimens collected by A. Eminov from P. cristatus in Turkmenistan are preserved (Coll. No 365—69). Their study revealed the affiliation of this material to D. hoploporus (new geographical record).

Eggs oval, with diame- ter of embryophore 23—26 (24, n=5); oncosphere round, with diameter 15—18 (17, n=5); embryonic hooks 5—8 (6, n=10) long. Remarks . The structure of the rostellar hooks of the cestodes described above re- sembles that of the hooks of species of two hymenolepidid genera parasitising grebes, Confluaria spp. and Dollfusilepis spp. However, all the species of Confluaria are character- ized by 8 inner longitudinal muscle bundles (Czaplinski in: Czaplinski & Vaucher, 1994; Vasileva et al., 1998; 2000) whilst there are numerous longitudinal bundles in the speci- mens studied, as there are in Dollfusilepis hoploporus (Vasileva et al., 1998). The strobilar morphology of cestodes examined fits better to the main characters included in the ge- neric diagnosis of Dollfusilepis as defined by Vasileva et al. (1998). D. grisegenicus has three testes arranged in a triangle, a genital atrium divided into two canals, an elongate cirrus-sac reaching the mid-line of the proglottis and often extending to the antiporal osmoregulatory canals, a narrow unarmed cylindrical cirrus, female glands disposed anti- porally, a voluminous sac-like seminal receptacle, a fusiform thick-walled copulatory va- gina and a sac-like uterus. In these characters, D. grisegenicus resembles the type-species of Dollfusilepis. Both species have rostellar hooks with a similar shape and almost the same length (19—20 μm) and an armed protrusible poral part of the cirrus-sac. However, this part is armed with a crown of baton-like spines in D. hoploporus whilst it is armed with short, rosethorn-shaped spines in D. grisegenicus. The armament of the protrusible poral part of the cirrus-sac has been included in the generic diagnosis of Dollfusilepis (Vasileva et al., 1998). The new species differs from D. hoploporus mainly by the armament of this part of the cirrus-sac. We consider that these results provide grounds for recognising the pattern of the armament of the protrusi- ble poral part of the cirrus-sac as reliable character at the species level. Therefore, on the basis of the present results, we propose an amended generic diagnosis of Dollfusilepis (see above). Parafimbriaria Voge & Read, 1954 Parafimbriaria micracantha Gulyaev, 1990 Syn.

Vitellarium (fig. 18, 19) com- pact, elliptical. Ovary (fig. 18, 19) with three or four transversely elongate lobes. Semi- nal receptacle (fig. 18—20) sac-like, highly elongated, crossing poral osmoregulatory canals. Vagina (fig. 21, 22) with funnel-shaped, thick-walled copulatory part and short cylindrical conductive part; vagina opening and passing ventrally to cirrus-sac; vaginal orifice usually situated laterally to male pore, sometimes anteriorly (fig. 20). Developing uterus (fig. 19) tubular, transversely elongated, with occasional in- tersegmental connections. With further maturation uterus fills up with eggs and be- comes sac-like, thin-walled, with sacculations and rarely with fenestrations (fig. 20). Gravid uterus may have intersegmental anastomoses (fig. 20). Eggs with oval or ellipti- cal embryophore, with length 21—29 (26, n=10) and width 18—23 (20, n=10); onco- sphere elliptical or oval, with diameter 11—12 (11, n=10); embryonic hooks 8—9 (9, n=20) long. Remarks . Parafimbriaria micracantha was described from Podiceps nigricollis and P. grisegena from Russia (Southern Ural, Chelyabinskaya oblast’) (Gulyaev, 1990). The present results correspond closely to the detailed original description, including the metrical data (tabl. 2). The specimens of Gulyaev (1990) are characterised by larger strobila and scoleces. The Ukrainian material consists of only two whole specimens terminating with male proglottides. There are some important differences concerning the structure of the female genital system. According to Gulyaev (1990), P. micracan- tha does not possess a 'differentiated' seminal receptacle; the conductive part of the vagina is enlarged, voluminous and functions as a seminal receptacle. Our observations demonstrate that the vagina has a thick-walled funnel-shaped copulatory part and well differentiated short, thin conductive part connecting the vagina with the large seminal receptacle (fig. 21, 22). Gulyaev (1990) did not mention any anastomoses between the neighbouring uteri. We observed irregularly distributed longitudinal intersegmental uter- ine connections in proglottides with developing uteri as well as in those with gravid uteri. Hymenolepidid Cestodes Genera Dollfusilepis and Parafimbriaria in Ukraine … 13 Gulyaev (1990) differentiated P. micracantha from the type-species of Parafimbri- aria, P. websteri Voge & Read, 1954, on the basis of significantly shorter rostellar hooks (20—21 μm in P. micracantha and 36—40 μm in P. websteri). The comparison of the morphological and metrical data given by Voge & Read (1954) and Gulyaev (1990), and the present results (tabl. 2) demonstrates that the two species are very similar and differ from one another mainly by the size of rostellar hooks. P. websteri differs from P. micracantha also by the larger rostellum and by the irregular shape and the position of the vitellarium (dorsal to ovary) (Voge, Read, 1954). The more detailed differentiation between the two species of Parafimbriaria needs a further re- examination of P. websteri. Judging by the size of the rostellar hooks (about 20 μm long), Gulyaev (1990) considered Palaearctic records of P. websteri (see Ryzhikov et al., 1985) as belonging to P. micracantha. On the basis of the published descriptions and in agreement with Gu- lyaev's (1990) opinion, we regard the following Palaearctic records of P. websteri as belonging to P. micracantha: from P. nigricollis in the Slovak Republic (Macko, 1959); from P. nigricollis in the Czech Republic (Rysavy, 1961); and from P. nigricollis and P. grisegena in Poland (Sulgostowska & Korpaczewska, 1972). Since the present re- description is based partly on the material of Grushchinskaya (1978), we also regard her report of P. websteri from P. nigricollis in Ukraine as P. micracantha. Tab l e 2 .
