Studies on the fresh water cercariae in Leyte Island, Philippines. 3. Cercariae from thiaridae

September 1977 · The Japanese journal of experimental medicine

J Ito

From 1975 to 1976, about three thousand snails of Thiaridae were examined for cercarial fauna in the northeastern part of Leyte Island, Philippines. The thiarid snails examined were Melanoides tuberculatus, Thiara (Plotiopsis) scabra, Antemelania dactylus and A. asperata, and a total of 13 species of cercariae including some important human parasites were found. These cercariae are consisted of ... [Show full abstract] one philophthalmid cercaria, two echinostome cercariae, three heterophyid cercariae, five xiphidiocercariae, one paragonimid cercaria and one unknown cercaria. In this paper a description of their morphology, infection rate, locality, and some remarks on the presumptive life cycle are included with illustrations and photographs.

Gymnothorax enigmaticus McCosker and Randall, 1982 is a newly recorded moray eel from Taiwanese water. A single specimen was collected by dip net in < 0.5 m intertidal zone from the eastern coast of Taiwan. Another unpreserved specimen was photographed in 10.7 m deep coral reef from Green Island of Taiwan. In this paper, the brief description and biological characters of this rare moray are ... [Show full abstract] reported. The record filled the distribution gap of this moray among islands between southern Japan and Philippines. Comparisons between G. enigmaticus and other banded morays sympatric in Taiwan are also provided.

A new population of Bleeding-heart Pigeon (Gallicolumba sp.) and its conservation relevance on Panay...

January 1998 · Journal of Ornithology

Here we report on a newly discovered population of Bleeding-heart Pigeon (Gallicolumba sp.) on the Philippine island of Panay, West Visayas. There have been 7+ sight-records and one photographic documentation in two places (Lahang, Sibaliw) of the low-elevation forest of the northwest Panay peninsula (400 – 450 m a.s.l.) in 1997. Reports from local hunters received in 1995 point to the ... [Show full abstract] Bleeding-heart's occurrence also in the larger Panay mountain range in the west of the island. These latter records could not be substantiated during altogether 6.5 months of field work at low-elevation (Alujipan, 450 m a.s.l.) and high-elevation (Hamtang forest, Mt Balabag, 900 – 950 m a.s.l.) sites in 1995 and 1996. The photograph obtained indicates the new population to belong toGallicolumba keayi of neighbouring Negros island. — For unknown reasons the new Bleeding-heart must be extremely rare. Its still unsettled taxonomic position together with its rarity, give reasons for most serious conservation concern.Im Zug systematischer Erfassung der zoologisch wenig erforschten Insel Panay, Philippinen, wurde 1997 im Submontanwald der NW-Halbinsel eine bisher unbekannte neue Dolchstichtaube (Gallicolumba spec.) entdeckt. Diese nach Sichtbeobachtungen und einem Foto der auf Negros lebenden Art (G. keayi) nahestehende Form ist uerst selten. Die noch unklare systematische Stellung und die Seltenheit geben Anla zu grter Besorgnis hinsichtlich der Erhaltung der neuen Form.
