| dc.description.abstract | A species of <em>Trichophrya</em> (Suctoria: Dendrosomidae) is described from the gills of <em>Catostomus commersoni</em> Lacepede taken in a Nova Scotian river. The material resembles specimens referred to as T. <em>cataslomi</em> Heckmann and Carroll, 1985 <em>nomen nudum</em> from the gills of <em>Catostomus caloslamus</em> in the midwestern United States. Specimens in both localities similarly attach to the broad face of the secondary lamellae, causing significant epithelial necrosis and erosion, and they noticeably avoid the lamellar tips. These striking morphological, behavioural and pathological traits support the idea that published reports from fishes throughout North America include an unidentified species complex which is not referable to T. <em>piscium</em> Butschli, 1889. | |
| dc.description.abstract | Une espèce de <em>Trichophrya</em> (Suctoria: Dendrosomidae) provenant des branchies du poisson <em>Cafosfomus commerson</em>; Lacepede pris d’une rivière en Nouvelle Ecosse est décdte. Ce spécimen ressemble à ceux appelés T. <em>catostomi</em> Heckmann and Carroll, 1985 <em>nomen nudum</em> provenant des branchies de <em>Catostomus catostomus</em> de la region d u mi-ouesl des Élals-Unis. Les spéimens des deux localités s’attachent à la face large des lamelles secondaires provoquant une nécrose épitheliale et de l’erosion. Ills évitent les bouts des lamelles. Ces caractéristiques, soit morphologiques, pathologiques ou du comportement, appuient l’idée que les rapports publiés des poissons à travers l’Amérique du Nord incluent une espèce complexe non-identifiée qui ne peut pas être rapporté à T. <em>piscium</em> Butschli 1889. | |
