Description

Paranoplocephala feodorovi (Gulyaev & Chechulin, 1996)

Paranoplocephala feodorovi was originally described as Parandrya feodorovi Gulyaev & Chechulin, 1996 from Arvicola terrestris (L.) (primary host), Microtus agrestis and M. maximowiczii from the Novosibirsk region in the south of West Siberia (type locality) and Zabaikalsk in Buryatia (Gulyaev and Chechulin 1996; see Chechulin 1998 for further records in the latter region). Only a single specimen from Microtus fortis conforming to the description of P. feodorovi was encountered during the present study, which supports the secondary role of Microtus spp. in the epidemiology of this cestode.

Morphologically, P. feodorovi is closely related to P. blanchardi, the main difference being the antiporal extent of the testes (extending across the antiporal ventral longitudinal osmoregulatory canal in P. blanchardi, but not in P. feodorovi). However, P. feodorovi is not genetically related to P. blanchardi. In the COI phylogram, P. feodorovi was associated with P. oeconomi, appearing as one of the basal lineages within Paranoplocephala (Fig. 2). The phylogenetic position of P. feodorovi supports the hypothesis that Parandrya Gulyaev & Chechulin, 1996 is a synonym of Paranoplocephala s.l., as suggested by Haukisalmi and Henttonen (2000) and Haukisalmi and Wickström (2005).

Voucher specimen: MSB Endo 155 from M. fortis (Maloje Kolesova).
