Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Recent recognition that tintinnids are infected by dinophycean as well as syndinean parasites prompts taxonomic revision of dinoflagellate species that parasitize these ciliates. Long overlooked features of the type species Duboscquella tintinnicola are used to emend the genus and family Duboscquellidae, resulting in both taxa being moved from the Syndinea to the Dinophyceae. Syndinean species previously classified as Duboscquella are relocated to Euduboscquella n. gen., with Euduboscquella crenulata n. sp. as the type. As an endoparasitic species, E. crenulata shares with its congeners processes associated with intracellular development and sporogenesis, but differs from closely related species in nuclear and cortical morphology of the trophont, including a distinctively grooved shield (= episome) that imparts a crenulated appearance in optical section. In addition, E. crenulata produces three morphologically distinct spore types, two of which undergo syngamy to form a uninucleate zygote. The zygote undergoes successive division to produce four daughter cells of unequal size, but that resemble the nonmating spore type. |
