Trichodinid Ectoparasites (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) of Non-native Pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus) in Europe

Abstract

Three species of trichodinid ciliates, common parasites or symbionts of aquatic invertebrates and vertebrates, have been reported from pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus, Centrarchidae) in both their native (Trichodina fultoni, T. tumefaciens) and introduced (T. fultoni, Trichodinella epizootica) ranges. In this study, we report five additional trichodinid taxa collected from invasive L. gibbosus in France and two regions of the Czech Republic. We describe a new species, Trichodina lepomi sp. n., recorded in L. gibbosus from both countries. The new species differs from T. nigra by absence of posterior projection of blade, absence of notch/ indentation  opposing ray apophysis, absence of ray apophysis and the blade not being displaced anteriorly relative to ray as significantly as in T. nigra. Two widely distributed species, identified as Trichodina acuta and T. cf. heterodentata, were observed on juvenile fish in the Dyje river basin (Czech Republic). Finally, two undescribed species  f Trichodina sp. and Tripartiella sp. are reported. Detailed description of the new species and comparison with other congeneric species are presented.
